Cross-reference

In Ezekiel 21:9, the same sword is introduced as sharpened and polished for slaughter, establishing the judgment weapon now turned against Ammon.

Ezekiel 21:20 Historical context

Ezekiel 21:20 sets the scene for the sword against Jerusalem and Ammon — this verse continues that oracle.

In Ezekiel 21:15, the sword is made bright and wrapped for slaughter—same metaphor of divine judgment continued in this chapter.

Zephaniah 2:8-10 condemns Ammon for pride — aligning with the judgment here.
