2 Concerning Egypt, concerning the army of Pharaoh the Lame, king of Egypt, which was encamped by the river Euphrates at Carchemish, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon slew in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying, 3 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Take up the buckler and shield and draw near to battle. 4 Harness the horses and mount, O you horsemen; put on your helmets; polish the spears and wear the breastplates. 5 Because I have seen them defeated and retreating, and their mighty men are beaten down and are fled apace, and they look not back: for they were surrounded, says the LORD. 6 The swift cannot flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they have all stumbled and fallen by the river Euphrates.
