John Trapp on Joel 2:8

Verſe 8 Neither ſhall one thruſt another] Or ſtraiten another. The Greek word [non-Latin text not transcribed] to preſſe and perſecute, ſeemes to come from this Hebrew word Dakag. The Prophet ſtill alludeth to the manner of marſhalling armies in ſuch ſort, as that neither may the ſouldiers hinder one another, nor the enemy have any advantage to break in upon them. Exercitus pulchre diſpoſitus, & amicis pulcherrimus videtur, & hoſtibus inexpugnabilis, ſaith Zenophon; that is,In Oeconom. A well-ordered army ſeemeth both beautifull to their friends, and invincible to their enemies.

They ſhall walk every one] Heb. Man, Mighty man q. d. [non-Latin text not transcribed] vir validus Meſillah Via trita. Each locuſt ſhall walk and ſtalk, as a ſtrong luſty man in his trodden track, in the path that God hath put him into, and ſhall hold to it.

and when they fall upon the ſword] Heb. the long ſword, or javelin, they ſhall not be wounded: as if they were unwoundable, or ſhot-free, as the Poet fabled of Achilles, and as the Perſians, vanquiſhed by the Athenians at the field of Marathon, cried out [non-Latin text not transcribed] Stobaeus. We fell them, yet they fall not: we then wound, And think them dead, but they are ſafe and ſound.
