(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
rulers - rather, “generals” (Jos 10:24; Jdg 11:6, Jdg 11:11).
bound - rather, “are taken.”
by the archers - literally, “by the bow”; so Isa 21:17. Bowmen were the light troops, whose province it was to skirmish in front and (2Ki 6:22) pursue fugitives (2Ki 25:5); this verse applies better to the attack of Nebuchadnezzar than that of Sennacherib.
all ... in thee - all found in the city (Isa 13:15), not merely the “rulers” or generals.
fled from far - those who had fled from distant parts to Jerusalem as a place of safety; rather, fled afar.
