TOWERS
TOWERS
Were erected not only in the outer walls and on the heights within cities, Jdg 9:47-49 Psa 48:12 Luk 13:4, but along the frontiers of a country, at points where the approach of an enemy could be descried at a distance, Jdg 9:17 Isa 21:6-9 Eze 33:2-6 . A tower afforded a refuge to the surrounding inhabitants, in case of invasion; and often, when most of a city was subdued, the tower or citadel remained impregnable.So God is a strong and safe protector of his people, Psa 18:2 61:8 Pr 18:10. A slight tower or look-out was often erected for the keeper of a vineyard or flock, 2Ch 26:10 Isa 5:2 Mic 4:8 Mat 21:33 ; and travelers in Palestine see them in use at this day.
