Ezekiel 21:20

Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.

Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites - distinct from Rabbath in Judah (). Rabbath is put first, as it was from her that Jerusalem, the doomed city, had borrowed many of her idols.

And to Judah in Jerusalem - instead of simply putting "Jerusalem," to imply the sword was to come not merely to Judah, but to its people within Jerusalem: "defensed" though it was, its defenses, on which the Jews relied so much, would not keep the foe out.
