But who was the real shield in David's life? The one who would constantly try to protect him from King Shaul and his army, who put his life and honour on the line defending him multiple times?

Yonatan.

The Magen David is Yonatan.

Yonatan gave David his weapons when he fell in love with him, but not his shield. Why would that be? Maybe it's because Yonatan was his shield.

When David sings a surge lamenting the deaths of Shaul and Yonatan, there's a line that goes as such:

"Behold in Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain upon you, or bountiful fields; for there the shield of warriors, the shield of Shaul were rejected, no longer anointed with oil."

It's interesting that Yonatan isn't mentioned in this stanza, but Shaul is.

But upon analysis of the context....David was a poet.

He wouldn't have to mention a person by name in order to mention them.

What if the "shield of warriors" wasn't a physical shield, but Yonatan?

David and Shaul were both warriors, Yonatan never was. He gave away his weapons to David, he was skilled with the bow but the only time we see him use it is to send a coded signal to David. Yonatan was called weak by his father for his lack of aggression- he was always the defender and never the offender.

Yonatan is the shield.
