This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I will bring: see Eze_23:46.
A king of kings; so he styled himself, according to the vaunting manner of those countries, and indeed, by the right of conquest, he was king of kings, having many tributary kings under him, and many captive kings with him in Babylon, 2Ki_18:28 Jer_52:32. From the north; so was Babylon accounted to lie, as observed, Eze_1:4, though it did not lie full north, but had some points of the north from Tyre. With horses; those Eastern kings had store of horses, and used many in their wars: see Eze_26:11.
With chariots: see Eze_23:24.
With horsemen: see Eze_23:12. And companies; an assembly of all sorts, from all parts of the large kingdom of Babylon.
And much people; a mighty army for fighting, and mighty train of hangers-on, who were ready enough to do mischief to the country, though not very fit to assist the army; if need required, these would sweep all before them wherever they came.
