Ezekiel 27:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 The ancients of Gebal, and the wise men thereof were in thee thy [a]caulkers, all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise.
10 They of Persia, and of Lud and of Put were in thine army: thy men of war they hanged the shield and helmet in thee: they set forth thy beauty.
11 The men of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round about, and the [b]Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about: they have made thy beauty perfect.
