This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
abide - or, “fall upon” [Calvin].
branches - that is, his villages, which are the branches or dependencies of the cities [Calvin]. Grotius translates, “his bars” (so Lam 2:9), that is, the warriors who were the bulwarks of the state. Compare Hos 4:18, “rulers” (Margin), “shields” (Psa 47:9).
because of their own counsels - in worshipping idols, and relying on Egypt (compare Hos 10:6).
