Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host,.... For every soldier in the army:
shields and spears; defensive and offensive weapons, the one to cover and protect their bodies, the other to push and pierce their enemies:
and helmets, and habergeons; the first of these were a covering for the head in the day of battle, and the other coats of mail, to defend the body:
and bows; to shoot arrows out of:
and slings to cast stones; at which the Benjaminites formerly were very expert.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The sling was used in war by the Assyrians, the Egyptians, the Persians, the Greeks, Romans, and others. Its employment by the Benjamites appears from Judges 20:16, and by the ten tribes, a century before Uzziah, from 2 Kings 3:25.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 26:14. Shields, and spears — He prepared a vast number of military weapons, that he might have them in readiness to put into the hands of his subjects on any exigency.
