Were in you to caulk your seams;
All the ships of the sea
And their oarsmen were in you
To market your merchandise.
Were in your army as men of war;
They hung shield and helmet in you;
They gave splendor to you.
And the men of Gammad were in your towers;
They hung their shields on your walls all around;
They made ayour beauty perfect.

Ezekiel 27:11
The Gammadims were in thy towers - Some think these were a people of Phoenicia; others, that tutelar images are meant; others, that the word expresses strong men, Who acted as guards. The Vulgate reads Pygmaei , the pygmies, who were fabled to be a little people of a cubit in height, from gomed . a cubit; and are told that this little people were celebrated for their wars with the cranes; but nothing of this kind can enter into this description. Probably a people inhabiting the promontories of Phoenicia are here intended; and their hanging their shields upon the walls is a proof that soldiers are meant, and persons of skill and prowess too.
