If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “The enemy forces open the gates at the rivers”
(Occurrence 0) The gates at the rivers
(Some words not found in UHB: calls officers,his stumble in/on/at/with,march,they hasten wall,her and,set_up the,mantelet )
This refers to the gates that controlled the flow and direction of the river.
2:6 The rush to defend (2:5) comes too late; the defenses are already breached.
• Nineveh was served by a reservoir formed by a double dam on the Khosr River, a tributary of the Tigris that flowed through the city. The reservoir was augmented by a series of flood gates. The Greek historian Diodorus reported that during this time torrential rains had already swelled the city’s river system. By first closing, then opening the flood gates, Nineveh’s attackers released the pent-up water as a battering ram against the city walls.
