Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 14:21-23

Isaiah 14:21-23. Prepare slaughter for his children O ye Medes and Persians, cut off all the branches of the royal family. This, it is probable, was actually done, for Belshazzar being slain, and the monarchy translated to the people last mentioned, it is not likely that any related to the family of the former monarchs were suffered to survive. That they do not rise, nor possess the land Not recover their former power, nor fill the face of the world with cities “It was the ambition of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 14:1-23

13:1-23:18 MESSAGES FOR VARIOUS NATIONSAll the nations are under the rule of God, who controls their rise to power and their final destruction according to his purposes. This is the truth that the prophet teaches in the collection of prophecies against various nations in Chapters 13 to 23. The first message is for Babylon, which in Isaiah’s day had not yet risen to a position of international power. The fall of Babylon that is pictured in these chapters would not take place for more than one... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 14:22-23

Isaiah 14:22-23. For I will rise, &c. Thus the prophet ends this remarkable song, and again informs us, what he had set forth in the first part of this prophesy, that the judgment should not rest in the royal house, but should pass to all the other inhabitants of Babylon; who should also be wholly cut off; and the city itself entirely wasted and destroyed. See the note on chap. Isaiah 13:19-22. It is remarkable, that the river Euphrates having been turned out of its course by Cyrus when he... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 14:1-27

The first oracle against Babylon 13:1-14:27The reader would expect that Isaiah would inveigh against Assyria, since it was the most threatening enemy in his day, and since he referred to it many times in earlier chapters. However, he did not mention Assyria in this section but Babylon, an empire that came into its own about a century after Isaiah’s time. Babylon was a symbol of self-exalting pride, and its glory, dating back to the tower of Babel (cf. Isaiah 13:5; Isaiah 13:10-11). Thus what he... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 14:22-23

Yahweh of armies promised to do to Babylon what the speakers in the poem above said. He would cut off the name and posterity of its rulers, and He would destroy the city to the extent that only wild animals would live in the swamps that remained there. Isaiah 14:22-23 form a conclusion to the poem as Isaiah 14:3-4 a introduced it. read more

John Dummelow

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 14:1-23

The Judgment of Babylon and its KingThis is the first of a series of prophecies dealing mainly with foreign nations. Its subject is Babylon, where the Jews are represented as undergoing exile, from which they are about to be delivered (Isa 14:1-3) owing to the capture of Babylon by the Medes (Isa 13:17). The historical setting of the prophecy is thus much later than the age of Isaiah, in whose time the Assyrians were the great-enemies of God's people. On this ground most modern scholars regard... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 14:22

(22) Son, and nephew . . .—The latter word, as throughout the Bible, is used in its true sense as “grandson,” or “descendant.” (Comp. 1 Timothy 5:4.) Every word that could express descent is brought together to express the utter extirpation of the Babylonian dynasty. The Hebrew adds the emphasis of alliteration, as in our “bag and baggage,” and other like phrases. read more
