j'établis des postes dans les endroits bas, dans l'espace derrière la muraille, en des lieux découverts, et je plaçai le peuple par familles avec leurs épées, leurs piques et leurs arcs.
C'est pourquoi je plaçai, dans les enfoncements derrière la muraille et sur des terrains secs, le peuple par familles, tous avec leurs épées, leurs lances et leurs arcs.
C'est pourquoi je rangeai le peuple depuis le bas, derrière la muraille, sur des lieux élevés, selon leurs familles, avec leurs épées, leurs javelines et leurs arcs.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall,.... Where the wall was lowest, and the enemy could more easily break it down, or get over it:
and on the higher places; where the wall was higher; or rather on the towers upon the walls, as the word signifies the tops of rocks, which are dry and smooth, see Ezekiel 24:2.
I even set the people after their families; according to their rank, number, strength, and valour:
with their swords, their spears, and their bows; with weapons they could use both near, and at a distance.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The lower places - The places where those within the walls had the least advantage of elevation, the naturally weak places, where an enemy was likely to make his attack.
