10 “Soldiers from Persia,[a] Lud,[b] and Libya,[c]
    served in your army.

Their helmets and shields adorned your barracks walls,
    and they won battle decorations for you.

        while brave men manned your towers.
They hung their shields all around your walls—
    just the right touch to perfect your interior decorating!”[d]
