Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away. The sight of the city, with its walls and towers (vers. 12, 13), was enough for them - they recognized that the place was too strong to be attacked with any prospect of success; "marvelled," or "were amazed" (Cheyne), at its strength, and, being troubled in mind, hasted away. The unconnected verbs remind the commentators of Caesar's famous despatch, "Vent, vidi, vici."

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) They saw.--A verse like Psalm 46:6, vivid from the omission of the conjunctions, wrongly supplied by the Authorised Version. It has reminded commentators of Caesar's Veni, vidi, vici.They looked, even so were terrified, bewildered, panic-struck.Hasted away.--Or, sprung up in alarm.
