NETBible

1 There is a loud noise on the mountains – it sounds like a large army! 2  There is great commotion among the kingdoms 3  – nations are being assembled! The Lord who commands armies is mustering forces for battle.

NET Notes

1 sn In vv. 4-10 the prophet appears to be speaking, since the Lord is referred to in the third person. However, since the Lord refers to himself in the third person later in this chapter (see v. 13), it is possible that he speaks throughout the chapter.

2 tn Heb “a sound, a roar [is] on the mountains, like many people.”

3 tn Heb “a sound, tumult of kingdoms.”
