Before thy wickedness was discovered--manifested to all, namely, by the punishment inflicted on thee.
thy reproach of . . . Syria and . . . Philistines--the indignity and injuries done thee by Syria and the Philistines (Kg2 16:5; Ch2 28:18; Isa 9:11-12). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
