And he made engines in Jerusalem, the inventions of skillful men, to be on the towers and on the corners, with which to shoot arrows and great stones. And his name spread far abroad; for he was wonderfully helped until he was strong.
At his right shall be the divination for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to pour out a mound, and to build a siege-wall.
From the multitude of his horses their dust shall cover you. From the sound of the horsemen, and the wheel, and the chariot, your walls shall shake when he goes into your gates, as they enter a city that is breached.
He shall kill your daughters in the field with the sword. And he shall set siege walls against you and pour out a mound against you, and raise a buckler against you.
