1 Raja-raja 20:11

20:11 The king of Israel replied, “Tell him the one who puts on his battle gear should not boast like one who is taking it off.” ³ 

[14:14]  ¹ tn Heb “house.”

[14:14]  ² tn Heb “This is the day. What also now?” The precise meaning of the second half of the statement is uncertain.

[20:11]  ³ sn The point of the saying is that someone who is still preparing for a battle should not boast as if he has already won the battle. A modern parallel would be, “Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched.”
