Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 46:16

16 He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another , and they said, Arise, let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity from the oppressing sword .

God before spoken of and Nebuchadnezzar, as an instrument in the hand of God, and being armed with his commission and power, made many to fall, yea God caused such a fear to fall upon them, that in their flight they fell upon one another.

And though they had many Souldiers that came to help them from Cush, and Put, and Lybia, yet all was too little, the Prophet foretells they should all be glad to go home again, and should speak to one another to that purpose for the success of the King of Babylons Sword, should be such, as they should quickly see there would be no standing before it.
