ARMLET. An ornamental band circling the upper arm, as a bracelet would do on the lower arm or wrist. The Eng. word is used in the RSV but not in the KJV. Armlets were freely offered to provide for the tent of meeting (Exod 35:22). They were included in booty taken from the Midianites and offered to the Lord (Num 31:50). The youth who claimed he killed Saul brought the king’s armlet to David as evidence (2 Sam 1:10). This was prob. a more elaborate ornament suited to a king’s high station.
