The mdgen was frequentlycased with metal, either brass or copper; its appear-ance in this case resembled gold, when the sun shoneonit(l Mc. vi. 39), and to this rather than to thepractice of smearing blood on the shield, we mayrefer the redness in Nah. ii. 3. Shields were anointed(Oil), and protected from the weather by being keptcovered, except in actual conflict (Is. xxii. G). Theshield was worn on the left arm, to which it was at-tached by a strap. Shields of state were coveredwith beaten gold. Solomon made such for use inreligious processions (1 K. x. 16, 17). Shields were. Shields—1, Assyrian. 2, 3, Persian.—Fro-n Liynrd, Ker PorUr.—(Fbn .) suspended about public buildings for ornamentalpurposes (1 K. x. 17 ; 1 Me. iv. 57, vi. 2).

The Gr. thureos (= shield, A. V., Eph. ) is used in the LXX. for both mdgen (Judg. v. 8;2 Sam. i. 21, &c.) and tsinndh (target, A. V., 2Chr. ix. 15, &c). So the Gr. aspvs (— shield, , in Jd. ix. 7; Ecclus. xxix. 13 ; 1 Mc. xv. 18, 20; 2 Mc. v. 3) in the LXX. — mdgen (1 Chr. v. 18 ; 2Chr. ix. 16. &c.) and tsinndh once (Jer. xlvi. 3, xxvi. 3 Gr.). The plural of the Gr. atpidiske (= smallshields) is once used (1 Mc. iv. 57, shields, A.
