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] |
Shout--Inspirit one another to the onset with the battle cry.
given . . . hand--an idiom for, "submitted to" the conquerors (Ch1 29:24, Margin; Lam 5:6).
as she hath done, do unto her--just retribution in kind. She had destroyed many, so must she be destroyed (Psa 137:8). So as to spiritual Babylon (Rev 18:6). This is right because "it is the vengeance of the Lord"; but this will not justify private revenge in kind (Mat 5:44; Rom 12:19-21); even the Old Testament law forbade this, though breathing a sterner spirit than the New Testament (Exo 23:4-5; Pro 25:21-22). |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Shout - i. e., spoken of the war-cry. So in Isa 42:13, where God is compared to a warrior, it is said He shall shout (the King James Version cry), i. e., raise the war-cry.
Site hath given her hand - The sign of submission (compare Ch1 29:24 margin).
Foundations - Or, buttresses. The Septuagint: "battlements." |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Given her hand - Acknowledging themselves overcome, and yielding. As she hath done - Unmerciful men find no mercy. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Shout against her round about - Encompass her with lines and with troops; let none go in with relief, none come out to escape from her ruin. |
