showed <07200> [shewed.]
making <03335> [he.]
locusts <01462> [grasshoppers. or, green worms.]
{Govai,} in Arabic {gabee,} "locusts," probably in their caterpillar state, in which they are most destructive. This is supposed to have been an emblem of the first invasion of the Assyrians.
harvest <01488> [mowings.]

saw <07200> [shewed.]
summoning <07121> [called.]
This is supposed to denote the invasion of Tiglathpileser, which threatened entire destruction.
