NET © Notes |
1 sn Rabbah was the Ammonite capital. 2 sn The city wall symbolizes the city’s defenses and security. 3 tn Heb “it”; the referent (the fire mentioned in the previous line) has been specified in the translation for clarity. 4 tn Heb “with a war cry in the day of battle.” 5 tn Heb “with wind in the day of the windstorm.” sn A windstorm is a metaphor for judgment and destruction in the OT (see Isa 29:6; Jer 23:19) and ancient Near Eastern literature. |
