5. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Banner
   (1.) The flag or banner of the larger kind, serving for three
   tribes marching together. These standards, of which there were
   four, were worked with embroidery and beautifully ornamented
   (Num. 1:52; 2:2, 3, 10, 18, 25; Cant. 2:4; 6:4, 10).
   
     (2.) The flag borne by each separate tribe, of a smaller form.
   Probably it bore on it the name of the tribe to which it
   belonged, or some distinguishing device (Num. 2:2,34).
   
     (3.) A lofty signal-flag, not carried about, but stationary.
   It was usually erected on a mountain or other lofty place. As
   soon as it was seen the war-trumpets were blown (Ps. 60:4; Isa.
   5:26; 11:12; 13:2; 18:3; 30:17; Jer. 4:6 21; Ezek. 27:7).
   
     (4.) A "sign of fire" (Jer. 6:1) was sometimes used as a
   signal.
   
     The banners and ensigns of the Roman army had idolatrous
   images upon them, and hence they are called the "abomination of
   desolation" (q.v.). The principal Roman standard, however, was
   an eagle. (See Matt. 24:28; Luke 17:37, where the Jewish nation
   is compared to a dead body, which the eagles gather together to
   devour.)
   
     God's setting up or giving a banner (Ps. 20:5; 60:4; Cant.
   2:4) imports his presence and protection and aid extended to his
   people.
