This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I am prudent - He ascribes his success to his own prudence, not to God’s providence.
removed the bounds - set aside old, and substituted new boundaries of kingdoms at will. A criminal act, as Jehovah Himself had appointed the boundaries of the nations (Deu 32:8).
treasures - “hoarded treasures” [Horsley].
put down ... inhabitants like, etc. - rather, “as a valiant man, I have brought down (from their seats) those seated” (namely, “on thrones”; as in Psa 2:4; Psa 29:10; Psa 55:19). The Hebrew for “He that abideth,” is He that sitteth on a throne); otherwise, “I have brought down (as captives into Assyria, which lay lower than Judea; therefore ‘brought down,’ compare Isa 36:1, Isa 36:10), the inhabitants” [Maurer].
