'Men' in the Bible

The shields of his soldiers [of Media and Babylon] are colored red;The warriors are dressed in scarlet.The chariots blaze with fire of [flashing] steelWhen he is prepared to march,And the cypress spears are brandished [for battle].

He remembers and summons his nobles;They stumble in their march [terrified because of the attack].They hurry to the city wall,And the mantelet is prepared and firmly set up.

Yet she became an exile;She went into captivity.Her young children were dashed to piecesAt the head of every street;They cast lots for her honorable men,And all her great men were bound with chains.
