6And Elam bare the quiuer with charets of men and horsemen, and Kir vncouered the shield. 7And it shall come to passe that thy choicest valleys shall be full of charets, and the horsemen shall set themselues in aray at the gate. 8¶ And he discouered the couering of Iudah, and thou diddest looke in that day to the armour of the house of the forrest. 9Ye haue seene also the breaches of the citie of Dauid, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower poole. 10And ye haue numbred the houses of Ierusalem, and the houses haue yee broken downe to fortifie the wall.

Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 22:8
22:8 He - The enemy. Covering - He took those fenced cities, which were a covering or safe - guard both to the people of Judah, and to Jerusalem. The armour - Thy trust was placed in the arm of flesh. The forest - More fully called the house of the forest of Lebanon, #1Kings 7:2|, not because it was built in Lebanon, for it was in Jerusalem; but because it was built of the trees of Lebanon.
