This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
from thence - that is, from the north country.
expert - literally, “prosperous.” Besides “might,” “expertness” is needed, that an arrow may do execution. The Margin has a different Hebrew reading; “destroying,” literally, “bereaving, childless-making” (Jer 15:7). The Septuagint and Syriac support English Version.
In vain - without killing him at whom it was aimed (2Sa 1:22).
