This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The Lord of hosts “Jehovah God of hosts” - As this title of God, יהוה צבאות Yehovah tsebaoth, “Jehovah of hosts, occurs here for the first time, I think it proper to note, that I translate it always, as in this place, “Jehovah God of hosts;” taking it as an elliptical expression for יהוה אלהי צבאות Yehovah Elohey tsebaoth. This title imports that Jehovah is the God or Lord of hosts or armies; as he is the Creator and Supreme Governor of all beings in heaven and earth, and disposeth and ruleth them all in their several orders and stations; the almighty, universal Lord.
We should have been as Sodom - As completely and finally ruined as that and the cities of the plain were, no vestige of which remains at this day.
