( שַׁרְיוֹן , Shiryon', Glittering ) occurs in the description of Goliath's armor ( 1 Samuel 17:5), and also of Saul's ( 1 Samuel 17:38). (See Armor). The plural forms are found in Nehemiah 4:16; 2 Chronicles 26:14; where they are translated "habergeons" (q.v.). The kindred terms, שַׁרְיָה ( Shiryah', " habergeon," Job 41:26), שִׁרְיָן ( Shiryan', "harness," 1 Kings 22:34; 2 Chronicles 18:33; "breast-plate," Isaiah 59:17), and סַרְיוֹן (siryon', "brigandines," Jeremiah 46:4; Jeremiah 51:3), were probably less complete kinds of the same, i.e. Corslets. (See Mail).
