Isaiah 22:6-9 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

6. Soldiers from Elam came armed with bows and arrows. They came with their chariots and horses. Soldiers from Kir got their shields ready.

7. Your rich valleys filled up with chariots. Horsemen took up their battle positions at your city gates.

8. Judah wasn't a safe place to live in anymore. When all of that happened, you depended on the weapons in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon.

9. You saw that the City of David had many holes in its walls. They needed to be repaired. You stored up water in the Lower Pool.
