The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan— Dan was situated at the northern extremity of Palestine, on the side whence the Chaldeans were to come against Jerusalem. See chap. Jeremiah 4:15. This verse cannot but remind the learned reader of Virgil's famous description of the horse, which has nothing in it more strong and expressive than the fine words of the prophet; the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones.
