“A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.”
Zephaniah 1:16 (KJV)
Commentary on Zephaniah 1:16
A day of the trumpet and alarm (יוֹם שׁוֹפָר וּתְרוּעָה yom shofar u'teruah)—The shofar warned of enemy attack (Jeremiah 4:19, Amos 3:6) and announced the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:24). Here it heralds God Himself as invader.Against the fenced cities, and against the high towers—Judah's fortifications provided false security. The Hebrew migdalim (towers) suggests military strongholds and human pride. No human defense withstands divine assault—a truth demonstrated when Babylon breached Jerusalem's walls in 586 BC despite Hezekiah's fortifications (2 Chronicles 32:5).
