Cincture
A cincture is a belt or girdle.
Ahaziah's messengers detailed two characteristics of the man who intercepted them on their way to seek divination - he was hairy and he wore a cincture. Ahaziah knew instantly that they spoke of Elijah. (II Kings 1:1-8).
They answered him, " He was a hairy man with a leather girdle bound about his loins." And he said, "It is Elijah the Tishbite." (II Kings 1:8, NASB)
