They of Persia; Persians, excellent archers. Of Lud; Lydians; not those Croesus was king over, but those that dwelt in Egypt about the lake Marcotis, or higher towards Ethiopia, if they were not of that country, Ethiopians themselves. Of Phut; Libyans, a people of Africa; these were the hired soldiers, and ever served in their army under Tyrian commanders. Men of war; stationary soldiers in time of peace, and who were sent out by sea or land as occasion required in a time of war. They hanged the shield, in time of peace; or might they not, so often as they came off the guard, bring each man his armour, and hang it up in the public armoury? The shield, which defended the body, and helmet, which covered the head. They set forth thy comeliness; these stout, expert, well-armed guards were an honour to the state they served, and their arsenal especially did prove the gallantry of this Tyrian state.
