That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
Contrast Revelation 19:17-18, with the marriage-supper of the Lamb (Revelation 19:9).
Captains - `captains of thousands.' The "kings" are "the ten" who "give their power unto the beast."
Free and bond - Revelation 6:15; Revelation 13:16, 'receiving the mark of the beast.' The repetition of flesh (plural, masses of flesh) five times, marks the gross carnality of the beast's followers. Again, the giving of their flesh to the fowls to eat, is a righteous retribution for their not suffering the dead bodies of Christ's witnesses to be put in graves (Revelation 11:9).
