This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The horseman; the Chaldean and Mede, or their confederates in the war.
Lifteth up; hath his sword not only drawn, but in a posture ever ready to smite, wound, or kill. The bright sword: these warriors kept their weapons in such manner, that they were fit both to cut and kill, and also to dazzle rite eye and affright.
And there, in Nineveh, and the streets of it,
is a multitude of slain, by the sword of the prevailing besiegers.
A great number of carcasses; the slain lay in the streets unburied.
There is no end of their corpses; none knew the numbers of the slain.
They, both invaders and invaded, all within the city, stumble upon their corpses, are ready to fall at them, not able to avoid them.
