[druzhina]

To compare the 1162 bible with the 960 bible that it was copied from, compare these similar scenes:
a battle with cavalry in Biblia de San Isidoro de Leon, 960 with
the pursuit of the Philistines in Biblia Segunde de San Isidoro de Leon, 1162;

An army in Biblia de San Isidoro de Leon, 960 with
King David sends his army to fight his son Absalom in Biblia Segunde de San Isidoro de Leon, 1162;

and these portraying the same scene:
Goliath in Biblia de San Isidoro de Leon, 960 with
Goliath in Biblia Segunde de San Isidoro de Leon, 1162. These 2 have a similar compostion including terrain at bottom-left and bottom-right. The text has Goliath in armour so the pattern in the 960 bible would represent this armour.

Solomon with 2 knives in Biblia de San Isidoro de Leon, 960 with
Solomon with 2 swords in Biblia Segunde de San Isidoro de Leon, 1162
