NETBible

So I will set fire to Rabbah’s 1  city wall; 2  fire 3  will consume her fortresses. War cries will be heard on the day of battle; 4  a strong gale will blow on the day of the windstorm. 5 

NET Notes

1 sn Rabbah was the Ammonite capital.

2 sn The city wall symbolizes the city’s defenses and security.

3 tn Heb “it”; the referent (the fire mentioned in the previous line) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 tn Heb “with a war cry in the day of battle.”

5 tn Heb “with wind in the day of the windstorm.”

5 sn A windstorm is a metaphor for judgment and destruction in the OT (see Isa 29:6; Jer 23:19) and ancient Near Eastern literature.
