Job 41:26 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

Cannot hold - on his hard skin.

Habergeon - coat of mail: avail must be taken by Zeugma out of "hold," as the verb in the second clause; "hold" cannot apply to the coat of mail.'
