This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Men, who shall see and observe these things,
shall clap their hands; partly, in token of their joy at the removal of such a public pest and tyrant; and partly, by way of astonishment; and partly, in contempt, and scorn, or derision; all which this gesture signifies in Scripture use; of which see Lam_2:15 Eze_25:6 Nah_3:19.
Shall hiss him, in token of their amazement, detestation, and derision. See 1Ki_9:8 2Ch_29:8 Jer_25:9 Mic_6:16.
Out of his place; now that he is out of his place and power, which they durst not do whilst he was in his place. Or, the men of his place, that lived with him or near him, and daily felt the effects of his tyranny.
