John Trapp on Job 19:12

Verſe 12. His troops come together] i. e. Troops of tribulations and temptations, of Pirates and Robbers, (as the Seventy have it) ſickneſſe and other ſorrowes are Gods Souldiers, Matt. 8.8, 9. and they ſeldome come ſingle, James 1.2. [non-Latin text not transcribed] Sept. but trooping and treading on the heels of one another, Concatenat a piorum crux, a company comes.

And raiſe up their way againſt me.] As Souldiers beſieging a place caſt up their Trenches and Fortifications. Vatablus rendreth it, And have beaten their way upon me; that is, ſaith he, tribulations have ſo often paſſed over me, that they have made a path way upon me, more trauſenntium, as paſſengers uſe to do.

And encamp round about my tabernacle,] Afflictions hem me in on every ſide, the troops of troubles beſiege me ſo ſtraitly, that I can no way in all the world find relief or comfort; which now as by a ſtrong hand, yea, as by a ſtrong hoſte, are with-holen from my ſoul, and ſo are like to be for a long ſeaſon, as Sieges are many times. Heman was afflicted and ready to dye from their youth up, ſuffering thoſe terrors, Pſal. 88.15. Job was a man of ſorrowes.
