Joel 2:5
_ _ Like the noise of chariots — referring to the loud sound caused by their wings in motion, or else the movement of their hind legs.
_ _ on the tops of mountains — Maurer connects this with “they,” that is, the locusts, which first occupy the higher places, and thence descend to the lower places. It may refer (as in English Version) to “chariots,” which make most noise in crossing over rugged heights. |

The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.
Nahum 3:2-3 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots. ... The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and [there is] a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and [there is] none end of [their] corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
Revelation 9:9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
