He summons his nobles; they stumble as they advance. They race to its wall; the protective shield is set in place.

Context

3The shields of his mighty men are red; the valiant warriors are dressed in scarlet. The fittings of the chariots flash like fire on the day they are prepared, and the spears of cypress have been brandished.* 4The chariots dash through the streets; they rush around the plazas, appearing like torches, darting about like lightning. 5He summons his nobles; they stumble as they advance. They race to its wall; the protective shield is set in place. 6The river gates are thrown open and the palace collapses. 7It is decreed that the city be exiled and carried away; her maidservants moan like doves, and beat upon their breasts.
