Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 14:30

Isaiah 14:30. And the first-born of the poor— In these words we have the consequence of the destruction of the Philistines to be effected by Hezekiah, and a more distinct declaration of the judgment itself. The consequence was to be the secure and peaceful habitation of Judah, in those parts especially which had been long exposed to the incursions and depredations of this hostile nation; and for this very reason the prophet calls these inhabitants of Judaea poor and needy; denoting the... read more

30. first-born of . . . poor—Hebraism, for the most abject poor; the first-born being the foremost of the family. Compare "first-born of death" (Job 18:13), for the most fatal death. The Jews, heretofore exposed to Philistine invasions and alarms, shall be in safety.

The oracle against Philistia 14:28-32Another nation that some people in Judah wanted to trust in for protection from the Mesopotamian threat was Philistia, on Judah’s west, but she too was under the judgment of God. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 14:29-32

The Philistines were rejoicing because some king or nation that had oppressed them had lost its power. This may be a reference to David, since with the death of Ahaz, the power of the Davidic dynasty was at its lowest level so far. [Note: Motyer, pp. 147-48.] It seems more likely, however, that Assyria is in view (cf. Isaiah 14:31-32). [Note: Watts, p. 219] The "rod" and the "serpent" could refer to Shalmaneser V, who laid siege to Samaria and dominated Israel for so long; and the "viper" and... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 14:28-32

Warning to the PhilistinesThis prophecy is assigned, in the title prefixed to it, to the year that king Ahaz died (728 b.c.). The Philistines are represented as exulting over the death of their oppressor, but are warned that their joy is premature, for worse times are in store for them. The oppressor of Philistia referred to may be (1) Ahaz, whose death may have formed the occasion of the utterance, or, more probably, (2) Tiglathpileser, whose ally Ahaz had been; in that case Sargon and... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 14:30

(30) And the firstborn of the poor shall feed.—As the “children of the needy” in Psalms 72:4 are simply the poor as a class, so the “firstborn” are those who, as it were, inherit the double portion, not of riches, but of poverty. (Comp. “the firstborn of death” in Job 18:13.) The people spoken of are those of Judah, which in the days of Ahaz had been “brought very low” (2 Chronicles 28:19). For these the prophet foretells a time of plenty; not so for Philistia. Either through the sieges of... read more

Isaiah 14:8 Ruskin says on this text: 'Consider such expressions as that tender and glorious verse in Isaiah, speaking of the cedars on the mountains as rejoicing over the fall of the king of Assyria: "Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art gone down to the grave, no feller is come up against us." See what sympathy there is here, as if with the very hearts of the trees themselves.' References. XIV. 9. D. Biggs, Christian World Pulpit, vol. lx.... read more
