Isaiah 31:7-9
Names of God Bible
7 When that day comes, all of you will reject
the silver and gold idols
that your sinful hands have made.
8 Then Assyrians will be killed with swords not made by human hands.
Swords not made by human hands will destroy them.
They will flee from battle,
and their young men will be made to do forced labor.
9 In terror they will run to their stronghold,[a]
and their officers will be frightened at the sight of the battle flag.
Yahweh declares this. His fire is in Zion and his furnace is in Jerusalem.

at the sight of the battle standard(H) their commanders will panic,(I)”
