The information in [Psalms 68:12-13](./011.md) has been rearranged so its meaning can be more easily understood. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-versebridge]])

# Kings of armies flee, they flee
|
|
|
|
The kings represent themselves and their entire armies. It is understood that they flee because they are defeated by Israel's army. Alternate translation: "Kings and their armies flee from us because they are defeated" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# plunder
|
|
|
|
things that are taken from the defeated army and brought to the victorious army's home.
|
|
|
|
# doves covered with silver ... gold
|
|
|
|
This means that some of the plunder is very valuable because it is covered with precious metals.

# When some of you people stayed among the sheepfolds, why did you do this?
|
|
|
|
This question is used to rebuke the people who did not participate in the battle. Alternate translation: "Those who stayed among the sheepfolds should not have stayed; they should have gone to the battle." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
