The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
Ver. 23. The quiver rattleth against him] The arrow; those messengers of death come whisking and singing about his ears (so the bullets now in so much use), but he is unappalled by this.
The glittering spear] Heb. The flaming spear, as Genesis 3:24, that is, bright and clear, shining like a flame of fire, which must needs be terrible; but not at all to the war horse.
And the shield] Or rather javelin, lance, or the like; he feareth not a wood of pikeman set in array against him.
