Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 27:10

10 They of Persia , and of Lud , and of Phut were in thine army, thy men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in thee, they set forth thy comeliness.

Persians excellent Archers.

Lydians, not those Croesus was King over, but those, that dwelt in Egypt about the Lake Marcotis, or higher towards Aethiopia, if they were not of that Countrey, Aethiopians themselves.

Libyans a People of Africa, these were their hired Souldiers, and ever served in their army under Tyrian Commanders.

Stationary Souldiers in time of Peace, and who were sent out by Sea, or Land as occasion required in a time of War.

In time of Peace, or might they not so often as they came off the Guards bring each man his Armour, and hang it up in the publick Armory?

Which defended the body.

Which covered the head.

These stout expert, well armed Guards were an honour to the State they served, and their Arsenal especially did prove the gallantry of this Tyrian State.
