Lines 1029-1041 "An embossed ridged, a band lapped with wire arched over the helmet: head-protection to keep the keen-ground cutting edge from damaging it when danger threatened and the man was battling behind his shield. Next the king ordered eight horses with gold bridles to be brought through the yard into the hall. The harness of one included a saddle of sumptuous design, the battle-seat where the son of Halfdane rode when he wished to join sword-play: wherever the killing and carnage were the worst, he would be to the fore fighting hard." In these lines it is showing you that Hrothgar is an example because a good king is supposed to reward someone for great deeds like what Beowulf did.
