Bible Comments

I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places. I have dipped and drunk strange waters - I have conquered strange countries, in which I have digged wells for my army; or, I have gained the wealth of strange countries.

With the sole of my feet - My infantry have been so numerous that they alone have been sufficient to drink up the rivers of the places I have besieged.
