Notice the trumpet players on the lower-left (Joshua's
army) and the timbrel (drum) players on the lower-right (Amalek's army).
For those who are lovers of medieval musical instruments, this clearly indicates
that music was an integral part of the battle, accompanying the soldiers
as inspiration. |
