A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
The departure of the symbol of God's presence from the temple preparatory to the destruction of the city. Foretold in Deu 31:17. Woe be to those from whom God departs (Hos 9:12)! Compare Sa1 28:15-16; Sa1 4:21 : "I-chabod, Thy glory is departed." Successive steps are marked in His departure; so slowly and reluctantly does the merciful God leave His house. First He leaves the sanctuary (Eze 9:3); He elevates His throne above the threshold of the house (Eze 10:1); leaving the cherubim He sits on the throne (Eze 10:4); He and the cherubim, after standing for a time at the door of the east gate (where was the exit to the lower court of the people), leave the house altogether (Eze 10:18-19), not to return till Eze 43:2.

2 And, behold, the glory [03519] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] came [0935] from the way [01870] of the east [06921]: and his voice [06963] was like a noise [06963] of many [07227] waters [04325]: and the earth [0776] shined [0215] with his glory [03519].
18 Then the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] departed [03318] from off the threshold [04670] of the house [01004], and stood [05975] over the cherubims [03742].
19 And the cherubims [03742] lifted up [05375] their wings [03671], and mounted up [07426] from the earth [0776] in my sight [05869]: when they went out [03318], the wheels [0212] also were beside [05980] them, and every one stood [05975] at the door [06607] of the east [06931] gate [08179] of the LORD'S [03068] house [01004]; and the glory [03519] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] was over them above [04605].
4 Then the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] went up [07311] from the cherub [03742], and stood over the threshold [04670] of the house [01004]; and the house [01004] was filled [04390] with the cloud [06051], and the court [02691] was full [04390] of the brightness [05051] of the LORD'S [03068] glory [03519].
1 Then I looked [07200], and, behold, in the firmament [07549] that was above the head [07218] of the cherubims [03742] there appeared [07200] over them as it were a sapphire [05601] stone [068], as the appearance [04758] of the likeness [01823] of a throne [03678].
3 And the glory [03519] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] was gone up [05927] from the cherub [03742], whereupon he was, to the threshold [04670] of the house [01004]. And he called [07121] to the man [0376] clothed [03847] with linen [0906], which had the writer's [05608] inkhorn [07083] by his side [04975];
21 And she named [07121] the child [05288] Ichabod [0350], saying [0559], The glory [03519] is departed [01540] from Israel [03478]: because [0413] the ark [0727] of God [0430] was taken [03947], and because of her father in law [02524] and her husband [0376].
15 And Samuel [08050] said [0559] to Saul [07586], Why hast thou disquieted [07264] me, to bring me up [05927]? And Saul [07586] answered [0559], I am sore [03966] distressed [06887]; for the Philistines [06430] make war [03898] against me, and God [0430] is departed [05493] from me, and answereth [06030] me no more, neither by [03027] prophets [05030], nor by dreams [02472]: therefore I have called [07121] thee, that thou mayest make known [03045] unto me what I shall do [06213].
16 Then said [0559] Samuel [08050], Wherefore then dost thou ask [07592] of me, seeing the LORD [03068] is departed [05493] from thee, and is become thine enemy [06145]?
12 Though they bring up [01431] their children [01121], yet will I bereave [07921] them, that there shall not be a man [0120] left: yea, woe [0188] also to them when I depart [05493] from them!
17 Then my anger [0639] shall be kindled [02734] against them in that day [03117], and I will forsake [05800] them, and I will hide [05641] my face [06440] from them, and they shall be devoured [0398], and many [07227] evils [07451] and troubles [06869] shall befall [04672] them; so that they will say [0559] in that day [03117], Are not these evils [07451] come [04672] upon us, because our God [0430] is not among [07130] us?
