The sword: see Ezekiel 29:8. In Ethiopia; next neighbour and ally to Egypt; they shall tremble at so great danger, so near, and they uncertain whether it will come on them, but very certain to be ruined if it does come, and as certain that they have cause to suspect it will come on them. When the slain shall fall in Egypt; when the Egyptians, under the eye of the Ethiopians, shall fall in battle, and at the taking of their towns. They shall take away her multitude; in miserable captivity carry them to Babylon, by whole droves. Her foundations, their government, laws, counsellors, strong holds, which are to a nation as foundations to a house, are destroyed.
