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] |
the mingled people--the mercenary troops of Egypt from various lands, mostly from the interior of Africa (compare Eze 27:10; Jer 25:20, Jer 25:24; Jer 46:9, Jer 46:21).
Chub--the people named Kufa on the monuments [HAVERNICK], a people considerably north of Palestine [WILKINSON]; Coba or Chobat, a city of Mauritania [MAURER].
men of the land that is in league--too definite an expression to mean merely, "men in league" with Egypt; rather, "sons of the land of the covenant," that is, the Jews who migrated to Egypt and carried Jeremiah with them (Jer. 42:1-44:30). Even they shall not escape (Jer 42:22; Jer 44:14). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Libya, and Lydia - Or, as in Eze 27:10, Phut and Lud.
The mingled people - Foreigners, who settled in Egypt. The Saite dynasty of Egyptian kings were especially favorable to foreign immigrants. Hophra employed many of them in his armies, and in this way, according to Herodotus, lost the affections of his Egyptian subjects. See Jer 25:20 note.
Chub - The word occurs here only. It was some tribe in alliance with Egypt, either of African race like Lud and Phut, or settlers like the "mingled people." A not-improbable suggestion connects it with Coptos, of which the Egyptian form was Qeb, Qebt or Qabt.
The men of the land that is in league - Rather, the children of the land of the covenant, i. e., of Israel (see Eze 16:8). After the destruction of Jerusalem Jews withdrew into Egypt Jer 43:7. Many of them would naturally enough be found in the Egyptian armies. This is in favor of the later date assigned to this section. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Lydia - Not the Asiatic, but the Africans placed between some part of Cyrene and Egypt. The mingled people - The hired soldiers from all parts, a confused mixture of nations. And Chub - The inhabitants of the inmost Libya; perhaps they may be the Nubians at this day. The men - All the allies of Egypt. With them - With the Egyptians. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Lydia - This place is not well known. The Ludim were contiguous to Egypt, Gen 11:13.
Chub - The Cubians, placed by Ptolemy in the Mareotis. But probably instead of וכוב vechub, "and Chub," we should read וכל vechol, "and All the men of the land," etc. The Septuagint adds "the Persians and the Cretans." |
14 So that none of the remnant [07611] of Judah [03063], which are gone [0935] into the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] to sojourn [01481] there, shall escape [06412] or remain [08300], that they should return [07725] into the land [0776] of Judah [03063], to the which they have [05375] a desire [05315] to return [07725] to dwell [03427] there: for none shall return [07725] but such as shall escape [06405].

21 Also her hired men [07916] are in the midst [07130] of her like fatted [04770] bullocks [05695]; for they also are turned back [06437], and are fled away [05127] together [03162]: they did not stand [05975], because the day [03117] of their calamity [0343] was come [0935] upon them, and the time [06256] of their visitation [06486].
9 Come up [05927], ye horses [05483]; and rage [01984], ye chariots [07393]; and let the mighty men [01368] come forth [03318]; the Ethiopians [03568] and the Libyans [06316], that handle [08610] the shield [04043]; and the Lydians [03866], that handle [08610] and bend [01869] the bow [07198].

7 So they came [0935] into the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: for they obeyed [08085] not the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068]: thus came [0935] they even to Tahpanhes [08471].
8 Now when I passed [05674] by thee, and looked [07200] upon thee, behold, thy time [06256] was the time [06256] of love [01730]; and I spread [06566] my skirt [03671] over thee, and covered [03680] thy nakedness [06172]: yea, I sware [07650] unto thee, and entered [0935] into a covenant [01285] with thee, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], and thou becamest mine.

10 They of Persia [06539] and of Lud [03865] and of Phut [06316] were in thine army [02428], thy men [0582] of war [04421]: they hanged [08518] the shield [04043] and helmet [03553] in thee; they set forth [05414] thy comeliness [01926].
13 And Arphaxad [0775] lived [02421] after [0310] he begat [03205] Salah [07974] four [0702] hundred [03967] [08141] and three [07969] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323].
