This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
By thy servants “By thy messengers” - The text has עבדיך abdeycha, thy servants; but the true reading seems to be מלאכיך malacheycha, thy messengers, as in the other copy, 2Ki 19:23; and as the Septuagint and Syriac found it in their copies in this place.
Reproached the Lord - אדני Adonai: but one of my MSS. has יהוה אדני Yehovah Adonai, Jehovah the Lord. This reading is not found, I think, in any other MS., but several have יהוה Yehovah for אדני Adonai.
I will enter into the height of his border “I will penetrate into his extreme retreats” - The text has מרום marom, the height which seems to have been taken by mistake from the line but one above. Two MSS. have here מלון malon, the lodge or retreat; which is the word in the other copy, 2Ki 19:23, and I think is the true reading.
The forest of has Carmel - The forest and his fruitful field; that is, I will possess myself of the whole country.
