1 KINGS 20:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0
“And Ben–hadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.”
And the king of Israel answered and said unto him, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off — Ahab's reply is witty and proverbial. The phrase suggests not counting victory before the battle: the warrior still putting on armor should not boast as if he has already removed it in victory.
