NETBible

So let their children die of starvation. Let them be cut down by the sword.¹ Let their wives lose their husbands and children. Let the older men die of disease² and the younger men die by the sword in battle.

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “be poured out to the hand [= power] of the sword.” For this same expression see Ezek 35:5; Ps 63:10 (63:11 HT). Comparison with those two passages show that it involved death by violent means, perhaps death in battle.

²tn Heb “be slain by death.” The commentaries are generally agreed that this refers to death by disease or plague as in 15:2. Hence, the reference is to the deadly trio of sword, starvation, and disease which were often connected with war. See the notes on 15:2.
