greaves, bronze leg armor worn by warriors to protect the shins
Greaves are pieces of bronze armor worn on the legs, specifically protecting the shins and calves. This word occurs only in the description of Goliath's armor in 1 Samuel 17:6, where the giant's military panoply is detailed to emphasize his formidable appearance. Ancient Near Eastern warriors used greaves to shield vulnerable lower legs during combat. The term is technical military vocabulary, preserved across translations as a loanword or descriptive phrase.
