The prophet next speaks and describes what he heard. " A sound of a multitude in the mountains aa of much people ! A sound of the tumult of kingdoms, of nations gathered ! Je- hovah of hosts mustering a host of battle !" v. 4. LAWS OF FIGURES. 161 The act of mustering or reviewing a host is put for an analogous act of providence by which his instru- ments were led to assemble and muster them. The mountains from whiclj the sound came, were those doubtless of Media and Persia. That it was the sou...nd of a tumult of kingdoms and nations, implies that the troops of both kingdoms, and the various peoples and tribes that constituted their populations, were to be mustered for the war. 5. Comparison of the sound in the mountains to that of a vast crowd of people. What can transcend the beauty of this expedient to impress the prophet with the greatness of the hostile host, and the cer- tainty of their advance ? A confused sound of a numerous army, marching, shouting, and perhaps clashing their arms, was borne to him from the mountains of Persia, producing as vivid a realization as though he had been in their presence, heard their thundering tread and shout, and witnessed their rapid march.
