"Were¹ not¹ the Ethiopiansª and the Lubimsª a hugeª host,ª with veryª manyª° chariotsª and horsemen?ª yet, because thou didst relyª° on¹ the LORD,ª he deliveredª° them into thine hand.ª" {2Ch 16:8} + "Ethiopia,ª and Libya,ª and Lydia,ª and all¹ the mingled² people,¹ and Chub,ª and the menª of the landª that is in league,ª shall fallª° with¹ them by the sword.ª" {Ezk 30:5} + "Ethiopiaª and Egyptª [were] her strength,ª and [it was] infinite;ªª Putª and Lubimª were¹ thy helpers.ª" {Nah 3:9}
