'Equipped' in the Bible

Asa kept a standing army of 300,000 soldiers from Judah equipped with large shields and spears, as well as 280,000 soldiers from Benjamin, also bearing shields and wielding bows. All of them were valiant soldiers.

Near him was Jehozabad, who was accompanied by 180,000 soldiers equipped for warfare.

Uzziah kept a standing army, equipped for battle, garrisoned in divisions according to an organizational structure devised by his royal secretary Jeiel and his officer Maaseiah, who reported to Hananiah, one of the king's commanders.

In addition, Uzziah equipped the entire army with shields, spears, helmets, body armor, bows, and stones for use in slings.
