Shields came in different sizes depending on what position you took in battle. Those soldiers that were at the front of the line had full length shields to protect their entire body. Those in back had smaller shields that allowed better hand-to-hand combat. They were also lighter so that it only took one arm to hold so that they could hold a sword in the other.
Because you asked, “How big is THE shield in Bible times,” I’m going to assume you are referring to the shield of faith. I’ll answer that with a question to you: How big is your faith? My shield is HUGE!!!
