2 Kings11:10
10 And to the captains over hundreds, did the priest give king Davids spears and shields that were in the Temple of the LORD.
Offensive and Defensive Weapons, which he gave to the Captains, both for themselves, and for all their Soldiers: for they all came into the Temple unarmed, to prevent suspition. These are called David's, either because they were such as he had taken from his Enemies, which he had dedicated to God, and laid up in the Temple, as Monuments of God's goodness to him. See 1 Sam. 21. 9. 2 Sam. 8. 7, 11. 1 King. 7. 51. Or, because David had made a Sacred Armory in the Temple, whence Arms might be taken upon extraordinary Occasions, for the Defence of the Temple, or City of God.
