"Dengus kuda musuh terdengar dari Dan; karena bunyi ringkik kuda jantan mereka gemetarlah seluruh negeri. Mereka datang dan memakan habis negeri dengan isinya, kota dengan penduduknya.
Dari Dan kedengaranlah bunyi penghembus segala kudanya, dari pada peringkik segala kuda tejinya gentarlah seisi negeri; mereka itu datang, dimakannya habis akan tanah serta dengan segala kelimpahannya, akan negeri serta dengan segala orang isinya.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan,.... That is, was heard at Jerusalem. It seems to be a hyperbolical expression, showing the certainty of the coming of the Assyrian monarch and his army, to invade Judea, and besiege Jerusalem; the news of which was brought from Dan, which lay in the further part of the land; see Jeremiah 4:15, and pointing at the way in which they should come northwards, through Phoenicia and the tribe of Dan, with a numerous cavalry of horses and horsemen: for, by "his" horses are meant Nebuchadnezzar's; unless, with Calvin, it can be thought that they are called the Lord's, because ordered and sent by him, whose war it was against the people. The Targum paraphrases the words thus,
"because they worshipped the calf that is in Dan, a king with his army shall come up against them, and carry them captive;''
and so Jarchi interprets it.
The whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; his horses, strong and mighty; see Judges 5:22 where we read of the prancings of the mighty ones; and here the Targum,
"at the voice of the treading of his strong ones, all the inhabitants of the earth shall be moved;''
and by the land trembling undoubtedly are meant the inhabitants of the land, filled with dread and consternation at the noise and near approach of the Chaldean army.
For they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; or, "the fulness of it"; which because of the certainty of it, is represented as then done: the city, and those that dwell therein; meaning not only the city of Jerusalem, and the inhabitants of it, but other cities also, the singular being put for the plural; and so the Targum,
"the cities, and they that dwell in them.''
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Dan - i. e. the northern boundary of the land.
His strong ones - i. e., “his war-horses.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 8:16. The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: — Dan lay in the way from Babylon to Jerusalem; and it was by this city, after the battle of Carchemish, that Nebuchadnezzar, in pursuing the Egyptians, entered Palestine.
The whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones — Of his war horses. This is a fine image; so terrible was the united neighing of the cavalry of the Babylonians that the reverberation of the air caused the ground to tremble. This is better, and more majestic, than the celebrated line of Virgil:-
Quadrupe-dante pu-trem soni-tu quatit ungula campum. It would be much easier to shake the ground with the prancings of many horses, than to cause an earthquake by the sound of the neighing of the troops of cavalry.
