This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_10:9 [Is] not Calno as Carchemish? [is] not Hamath as Arpad? [is] not Samaria as Damascus?
Ver. 9. Is not Calno as Carchemish?] Here in a vaunt he reckoneth up six royal cities vanquished by himself and his ancestors; and boasteth how with a wet finger, as we say, he had taken in all the country between Nineveh and Jerusalem. Of the destruction of Calno and Hamath, see Amo_6:2.
Is not Hamath.] Afterwards called Antiochia.
As Arpad?] Hear how this proud braggard:
“ Proiecit ampullas et sesquipedalia verba! ”
Is not Samaria as Damascus?] Have not I subdued them both pari fortitudine et felicitate?
