'Protect' in the Bible

Pharaoh, with his massive army and large battalions won't protect him when mounds and siege walls are built to destroy many people.

He'll execute your citizens who live on the mainland with swords. He'll build siege engines to attack you. Then he'll construct siege ramps against you and build huge shields to protect themselves against you.

Be prepared. Yes, prepare yourself you and all of your many battalions that have gathered together around you to protect you.
