^*The word rendered abundance, signifies a company or troop of waters, which meet and march together, even as horses prepared for battle, and ready to give the charge. So the word is translated (2 Kings 9.17.) A Watchman from the Tower said, I see a company. And that was Jehu with his troops, who came marching furiously with the revenge of God in his hand upon the house of Ahab. And so Ezek. 26.10. By reason of the abundance of their horses, their dust shall cover thee; thy walls shall shake at the noise of the Horsemen, and of the Wheels, and of the Chariots. Read the same use of the word (Isa. 60.6.) The multitude (some read the inundation) of Camels shall cover thee; They shall come in such abundance, that they shall come like a flood, and shall be as the gathering of many waters. Troops of Horses and Camels rush together as many waters; And waters rush and throng together, even as many horses. Thus, here abundance, or an Army of waters come in upon thee and cover thee. Waters in Scripture frequently signify afflictions, (Isa. 43.2.) When thou passest through the waters (that is, through great afflictions) I will be with thee. (Psal. 18.16.) He drew me out of many waters; That is, out of many afflictions. (Psal. 66.12.) We went through fire and water, but thou broughtest us forth into a wealthy place.

As the general Judgement upon the world at the last day shall be by fire, so the first general Judgement upon the world, was by water; it was a flood of waters, by which the Lord destroyed the old world. Likewise Pharaoh and his Host of Egyptians (which was the second most Eminent Judgement, that ever was in the world) were overwhelmed by the waters of the red Sea. Thus Moses sang (
