Isaiah 21:7

Context

21:7 When he sees chariots,

teams of horses, 1 

riders on donkeys,

riders on camels,

he must be alert,

very alert.”

Isaiah 22:6

Context

22:6 The Elamites picked up the quiver,

and came with chariots and horsemen; 2 

the men of Kir 3  prepared 4  the shield. 5 

1 tn Or “a pair of horsemen.”

2 tn Heb “[with] the chariots of men, horsemen.”

3 sn A distant region in the direction of Mesopotamia; see Amos 1:5; 9:7.

4 tn Heb “Kir uncovers” (so NAB, NIV).

5 sn The Elamites and men of Kir may here symbolize a fierce army from a distant land. If this oracle anticipates a Babylonian conquest of the city (see 39:5-7), then the Elamites and men of Kir are perhaps viewed here as mercenaries in the Babylonian army. See J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:410.
