Charles Ellicott Commentary Habakkuk 3:5

"Before him went the pestilence, And fiery bolts went forth at his feet." — Habakkuk 3:5 (ASV)

Before him went the pestilence... —Better, Before Him shall go the plague, and burning pestilence shall go forth where He sets His feet. Kleinert remarks that it was with these angels of death that Jehovah revealed Himself in the south, and destroyed the armies of Sennacherib (2 Kings 19:35).
