This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They are dead: i.e. the "other lords" of Isa_26:13. Hebrew. methim. Not dead men, as such, for "all" men shall rise again (Dan_12:2. Joh_5:28, Joh_5:29. Act_23:6, Act_23:8; Act_24:15. 1Co_15:22. Rev_20:4-6, Rev_20:13), but those referred to in Isa_26:13.
deceased = the Rephaim. This is a proper name, and should not be translated. Where it is translated it is always rendered "giants" or "dead" (Isa_26:19. Job_26:5. Psa_88:10. Pro_2:18; Pro_9:18; Pro_21:16. Pro_14:9); why not so here? or transliterated, as it is in Isa_17:5.
they shall not rise. These Rephaim will not rise. They were the progeny of the fallen angels: these latter are kept "in prison" (1Pe_3:19), in "chains" (2Pe_2:4. Jud_1:6), "reserved" unto judgment: but their progeny will "not rise"(verses: Isa_26:14, Isa_26:19) or be judged, for they have been "visited", "destroyed", and:'perished". See App-23and App-25.
