* horns of iron.
   Mr. Bruce, in describing the head-dress of the governors of
   Abyssinia, says, "A large broad fillet was bound upon their
   forehead, and tied behind their head:  in the middle of this
   was a horn, or conical piece of silver, gilt, about four
   inches long, much in the shape of our common candle
   extinguishers.  This is called {kirn,} {[keren,]} and is only
   worn in reviews, or parades after victory."  Such, it may be
   supposed, were the horns of iron which Zedekiah (who appears
   to have acted the hero returning from a military triumph) made
   for himself, when he presumed, in the name of Jehovah, to
   flatter his prince with the promise of victory:  "Thus saith
   the Lord, With these thou shalt push Syria, until they be
   consumed."

 * Thus.
  Jer 23:17,21,25,31  28:2,3  29:21  Eze 13:7  22:28 
 * they be consumed.  Heb. thou consume them.
