This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The Lord hath gathered them together round about Jerusalem, with their swords sharpened and drawn at every gate to slay whosoever attempt to come out, or to slay all they meet with when they take the city.
All their gates; both of meaner cities, of their palaces, and private houses.
That their heart may faint; as what heart can be thought able to retain its courage, when beset with death by an enemy’s sword, which killeth all that come out, and entereth to kill all that stay within?
Multiplied; for number made many, for nature made very great.
Made bright; prepared, brightened, and sharpened.
Wrapped up; and hath been carefully kept in the scabbard, that it might keep its edge, and not be blunted.
