Footnotes
Kush (Nubia), Put (Libya), and Lud (possibly Lydia) represent the elite African and Near Eastern mercenary forces that Egypt hired to supplement her armies. The roll-call of formidable, diverse troops heightens the shock of the coming defeat: even the mightiest coalition cannot stand when YHWH has issued His verdict.
