Ezekiel 27:10

10 Ceux de Perse, de Lud et de Puth, servaient dans ton armée, C'étaient des hommes de guerre; Ils suspendaient chez toi le bouclier et le casque, Ils te donnaient de la splendeur.

Ezekiel 27:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 27:10

They of Persia, and of Lud, and of Phut, were in thine army,
thy men of war
As the Tryrians were a trading people, they hired foreign troops into their service, to fill their garrisons, defend their city, and fight for them in time of war; and these were of various nations, and the most famous for military skill and valour; as the Persians, a people well known, and famous for war in the times of Cyrus, and before, and well skilled in shooting arrows; and they of Lud, or the Lydians, a people in Greece, renowned for war before the times of Croesus their king, as well as in his time; and they of Phut, the Lybians, a people in Africa, skilful in drawing the bow, ( Isaiah 66:19 ) : they hanged the shield and helmet in thee;
in their garrisons and towers, or places of armoury; which were defensive weapons, the one for the body, the other for the head; this they did in times of peace, when there was no occasion to use them, or when they were off their guard, and not on duty; see ( Song of Solomon 4:4 ) : they set forth thy comeliness;
it being an honour to the Tyrians to have such soldiers in their service. The Targum is,

``they increased thy splendour;''

added to their glory.

Ezekiel 27:10 In-Context

8 Les habitants de Sidon et d'Arvad étaient tes rameurs, Et les plus experts du milieu de toi, ô Tyr, étaient tes pilotes.

9 Les anciens de Guebal et ses ouvriers habiles étaient chez toi, Pour réparer tes fissures; Tous les navires de la mer et leurs mariniers étaient chez toi, Pour faire l'échange de tes marchandises.

10 Ceux de Perse, de Lud et de Puth, servaient dans ton armée, C'étaient des hommes de guerre; Ils suspendaient chez toi le bouclier et le casque, Ils te donnaient de la splendeur.

11 Les enfants d'Arvad et tes guerriers garnissaient tes murs, Et de vaillants hommes occupaient tes tours; Ils suspendaient leurs boucliers à tous tes murs, Ils rendaient ta beauté parfaite.

12 Ceux de Tarsis trafiquaient avec toi, A cause de tous les biens que tu avais en abondance; D'argent, de fer, d'étain et de plomb, Ils pourvoyaient tes marchés.
