The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:14-16

THE UNITED CHURCH SHALL TRIUMPH OVER ITS ENEMIES . PHYSICAL OBSTACLES TO ITS UNION GOD WILL REMOVE . Israel's most persistent enemies had been the border-nations of the Philistines, the Edomites, the Arabs, Moab and Ammon. These are now taken as types of the enemies of the Church, and victory over them is promised ( Isaiah 11:14 ). A further promise is made that physical difficulties shall not prevent the return of the Jewish exiles from distant countries ( ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 11:13

The envy also - The word “envy” here, is used in the sense of “hatred,” or the hatred which arose from the “ambition” of Ephraim, and from the “prosperity” of Judah. Ephraim here, is the name for the kingdom of Israel, or the ten tribes. The reasons of their envy and enmity toward Judah, all arising from their ambition, were the following:(1) This tribe, in connection with those which were allied to it, constituted a very large and flourishing part of the Jewish nation. They were, therefore,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 11:14

But they shall fly - The design of this verse is, to show the rapid and certain spiritual conquests which would result from the conversion of the scattered Jewish people. The Jews understood this literally, as referring to the conquests over their enemies. But if the exposition which has been given of this chapter thus far is correct, the passage is to be interpreted as a figurative description of the triumph of the people of God under the Messiah. The “time” to which it refers, is that which... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 11:13-14

Isaiah 11:13-14. The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, &c. Ephraim here stands for the ten tribes and the prophet alludes to the great emulations and contentions which had subsisted between them and Judah: but his intention is to set forth the spiritual state of the Jews after their conversion to the faith of the gospel, which he predicts, 1st, “That all envy shall be extinguished among them, and a true brotherly love shall fill their souls; and, 2d, That, joined to the Gentiles, they... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-16

The Messiah’s kingdom (11:1-12:6)A leading theme of this part of the book is that God preserves a remnant out of the destruction of Israel and Judah. Earlier this remnant was likened to the stump of a tree from which springs new life (see 6:13). The remnant is now identified with the royal line of David (son of Jesse) from which comes the Messiah (11:1). The Messiah reverences God and, having the Spirit of God in unlimited measure, knows how to apply God’s wisdom in ruling God’s people. He is... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 11:11-14

Isaiah 11:11-14. And it shall come to pass, &c.— Another event of the kingdom of the Messiah is, the calling of the dispersed Jews, the outcasts of Israel, the dispersed of Judah, and their general collection to the church. The period is difficult: it divides itself into two parts: the first describing the benefit itself of this vocation and collection, and its manner; Isa 11:11-12 and the second, the state of the people restored. There can be no doubt of the subject of this prophesy. It... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 11:13

13. envy . . . of Ephraim . . . Judah—which began as early as the time (Judges 8:1; Judges 12:1, c.). Joshua had sprung from, and resided among the Ephraimites (Numbers 13:9 Joshua 19:50); the sanctuary was with them for a time (Joshua 18:1). The jealousy increased subsequently (2 Samuel 2:8; 2 Samuel 19:41; 2 Samuel 20:2; 2 Samuel 3:10); and even before David's time (1 Samuel 11:8; 1 Samuel 15:4), they had appropriated to themselves the national name Israel. It ended in disruption (1 Kings... read more

14. With united forces they shall subdue their foes (Amos 9:12). fly—as a bird of prey (Habakkuk 1:8). upon the shoulders—This expresses an attack made unexpectedly on one from behind. The image is the more apt, as the Hebrew for "shoulders" in Numbers 34:11 is used also of a maritime coast ("side of the sea": Hebrew, "shoulder of the sea," Margin). They shall make a sudden victorious descent upon their borders southwest of Judea. them of the east—Hebrew, "children of the East," the Arabs, who,... read more
