Haydock's commentary
Prepare. Literally, sanctify; (Challoner) as various religious ceremonies were used before the declaration of war, and to know what would be the success. (Calmet)
The Chaldeans were destined to execute God's decrees. (St. Jerome)
Cedars; fine buildings, (ver. 14.; Calmet) and chiefs. (Haydock)
