Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| I will show Myself King by My judgments there, as though My tribunal were erected there. The throne of Cyrus, God's instrument, set up over Media, of which Elam was a part, may be meant [GROTIUS]; or rather, that of Nebuchadnezzar (Jer 43:10). Then the restoration of Elam (Jer 49:39) will refer partly to that which took place on the reduction of Babylon by Cyrus, prince of Persia and Media. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Literally, king and princes. Elam will lose its independence, and henceforward have no native ruler with his attendant officers. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| My throne - God calls the throne of Cyrus or Alexander his throne; because he gave it the conqueror. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| I will set my throne in Elam - This is spoken either of Nebuchadnezzar or Cyrus. It is certain that Cyrus did render himself master of Elymais and Media, which are in the land of Elam. |

10 And say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Behold, I will send [07971] and take [03947] Nebuchadrezzar [05019] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], my servant [05650], and will set [07760] his throne [03678] upon [04605] these stones [068] that I have hid [02934]; and he shall spread [05186] his royal pavilion [08237] over them.
