Commentary

Commentary on Zephaniah 1:16

Theological / Devotional

Trumpet. The signal for battle, or of the enemy’s approach (see Amos 2:2; see on Jer. 4:5). The battle here signaled would result in the destruction of the nation of Judah.

Fenced cities. That is, strongly fortified cities.

High towers. Turrets were usually placed at the angles of the walls for adequate defense against besiegers.
