Zephaniah 1:16
_ _ the trumpet — namely, of the besieging enemy (Amos 2:2).
_ _ alarm — the war shout [Maurer].
_ _ towers — literally, “angles”; for city walls used not to be built in a direct line, but with sinuous curves and angles, so that besiegers advancing might be assailed not only in front, but on both sides, caught as it were in a cul-de-sac; towers were built especially at the angles. So Tacitus describes the walls of Jerusalem [Histories, 5.11.7]. |
