Persia and Lud and Put were in your army, your men of war; they hung the shield and helmet in you; they set the splendor of your adornment, introducing military elements into the description, suggesting that Tyre's commercial power was backed by military force drawn from multiple nations. The enumeration of Persian, Lydian, and Libyan warriors implies that Tyre maintained an international military garrison, further illustrating the cosmopolitan character of the city. The 'shield and helmet' serve as symbols of military readiness and power.
