Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 4:2

2 And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it: set the camp also against it, and set batterings rams against it round about.

Draw the figure of a Siege about the City.

Raise a Tower and Bulwarks which may annoy the besieged▪ and defend the Besiegers, from which may be shot either darts against men, or mighty stones against the Walls and Towers of the City.

Which made large, high, and strong and near as they can, might thence by help of Galleries get over the Walls and enter the City.

Lay out the ground also for the Army of the Chaldeans to pitch their Tents in, and to form their Camp.

The Chald[illegible: 1 letter]e Paraphrast understands the Captains and Chief Leaders among the Souldiers, but tis better understood of those Engines wherewith Besiegers did batter the Walls and Towers of a besieged City; an Engine of great use in days of old among all Warlike Nations, invented say some in the Siege of Troy.

Marginal references: Or, chief leaders.
