This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The chariots of the Chaldean army, or the riders in the chariots, by their fierceness and carriage, by their cries and calls, heartening one another, and threatening the Assyrians.
Shall rage; shall seem to be more like madmen than well-ordered soldiers, and act as if they avert possessed with fruits, do more than man can do.
In the streets, either of the towns they pass through, or rather of Nineveh when taken.
They shall justle; by reason of their multitude, haste, and fury, they shall hit one against another.
In the broad ways; where is most room, shall be most of these chariots, and yet scarce room for them to move in.
They shall seem like torches; what with sparkling fire, caused by their horses and chariots shod with iron, and what with the glittering of the polished irons about the chariots, and what with the light of flaming torches carried in them, the chariots shall look like so malay great flambeaus, very dangerous and terrible.
They shall run like the lightnings, both for speed, irresistibleness, and terror, against which no defence, from which no flight or hiding.
