1 Kings 20:11

11 And responding, the king of Israel said, “Tell him that one who is girded should not boast the same as one who is ungirded.” ^{▼▼20:11The king of Samaria was girded for battle, meaning that he had not yet won the war. After the war is over, the victors would take off their weapons, and would then be ungirded. So this verse is saying that someone who had not yet won should not boast the same as someone who has won.(Conte)
,} ^{▼▼20:11 Let not the girded, etc: Let him not boast before the victory: it will then be time to glory when he puts off his armour, having overcome his adversary.(Challoner)}
