Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 62:1-12

Good news for the exiles (61:1-62:12)God’s Spirit gives the prophet some good news to pass on to the Jews held captive in Babylon. They will be released to return to their land, but their captors will be punished (61:1-2). When they arrive in Jerusalem, they may be overcome with grief because of the ruin and devastation they see around them. But God will encourage and strengthen them so that they can rebuild their beloved city (3-4).Foreigners will carry out the everyday duties for the Jews and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 62:4

Isaiah 62:4. Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken— The prophet had said in the second verse, that the church should be called by a new name, which name is here expressed: that is to say, a new attribute should be discovered in the church, which had hitherto not been seen in her; namely, that she should receive a husband who had till now sat as a widow. חפציאּבה Chephzi-bah, would better be rendered, my delight is in her, בעולה and Beulah, married. See Ephesians 5:25. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 62:1-9

The certainty of these benefits 62:1-9It seemed to Isaiah’s audience that the promises in chapter 60 could hardly come to pass, since the Babylonian exile was still looming ahead of them. The Lord assured them that He would surely fulfill these promises."Much of this chapter speaks of preparation being made for the coming of the Lord and for the restoration of His people, thus expanding the thoughts in Isaiah 40:3-5; Isaiah 40:9." [Note: J. Martin, p. 1116.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 62:4

The new name promised in Isaiah 62:2 would be Hephzibah (My delight is in her; cf. 2 Kings 21:1) and Beulah (Married). These names would replace former designations of Israel’s condition: Azubah (Forsaken; cf. 1 Kings 22:42) and Shemamah (Desolate). These new names would reflect God’s delight in His people and His work of uniting them with their land. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 62:4

(4) Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken . . .—The change of name is here partially indicated, and probably finds its starting-point in the marriage of Hezekiah with Hephzi-bah (2 Kings 21:1), which, on the assumption of Isaiah’s authorship of these chapters, would be fresh in the prophet’s memory. It would be entirely after his manner to see in the bride’s name, as in those of his own sons, an omen of the future. The fact that the Hebrew word for Forsaken (Azubah) had been borne by a previous... read more
