And [in] every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, [it] shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
Ver. 32. And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass.] Virga fundata, seu inflxa; God's rod or staff, wherewith he beateth the Assyrians, shall pierce their flesh, and stick in it, make deep welts, yea, stick in their very bowels, as Ehud's dagger did in Eglon's guts. And this shall be done with little ado too.
It shall be with tabrets and harps.] Quasi per ludum, non tormentis bellicis.
And in battles of shaking will he fight with it.] Levi quadam velitatione bellica, by skirmishings only.
