He - The enemy. Covering - He took those fenced cities, which were a covering or safe - guard both to the people of Judah, and to Jerusalem. The armour - Thy trust was placed in the arm of flesh. The forest - More fully called the house of the forest of Lebanon, Kg1 7:2, not because it was built in Lebanon, for it was in Jerusalem; but because it was built of the trees of Lebanon. Isaiah 22:9
