Ecc_9:14 [There was] a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:

Ver. 14. There was a little city.] Such as was Lampsacum, besieged by Alexander, and saved by Anaximenes; Rhodes, besieged by the great Turk; Rochelle, by the French king; Geneva, by the Duke of Savoy. This last, a little city, a small people surrounded with enemies, and barred out from all aid of neighbour cities and churches, yet is strangely upheld. {a} Well may they write as they do on the one side of their coin, Deus noster pugnat pro nobis, Our God fights for us. {b}

{a} Brightman.

{b} Scultet.
