All the ships of the sea and their sailors came alongside to trade for your wares. “ ‘Men of Persia, Lydia and Put served as soldiers in your army. They hung their shields and helmets on your walls, bringing you splendor. 11Men of Arvad and Helek guarded your walls on every side; men of Gammad were in your towers.
