The elders of Gebal and its skilled men[a] were among you[b]
    as the repairers of the seam of your boat;
all of the ships of the sea and their mariners were among you[c]
    to barter your wares.
10 Persia and Lud and Put
    were among your soldiers;[d]
small shield and helmet hung among you[e]
    and gave to you your adornment.
11 The people[f] of Arvan and Helech
    were on your walls all around,
and Gammadites
    were in your towers.
They hung their quivers[g] on your walls all around;
    they perfected your beauty.
