This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





He shall enter into peace; this just and merciful man shall enter into a state of peace and rest, where he shall be out of the reach of the approaching miseries. Or, He shall go (to wit, to his fathers, as it is fully expressed, Gen_15:15; or, he shall die; going being put for dying, as 1Ch_17:11, compared with 2Sa_7:12 Job_10:21 14:20 Luk_22:22, and elsewhere) in peace. They; just men. Here is a sudden change of the number, which is very frequent in the prophets. In their beds; in their graves, which are not unfitly called their beds, or sleeping houses, as their death is commonly called sleep in Scripture. Walking; or, that walketh or did walk, i.e. live. In his uprightness; in a sincere and faithful discharge of his duties to God and men. Or, before him, i.e. before God, according to the usual phrase of Scripture, as Gen_17:1 1Ki_2:4 8:25. For God is oft understood where he is not expressed, but only designed by this or the like pronoun, as Gen_15:13, and elsewhere.
