EZEKIEL 31:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.”
They also went down to Sheol with it, to those slain by the sword; yes, those who dwelt in its shade among the nations, that is, those slain by the sword, revealing that the cedar's fall involves the death of all associated with it—dependent nations destroyed alongside the imperial center. The repetition of 'those slain by the sword' emphasizes the violent death that accompanies Assyrian collapse.
