Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 25:3

Ezekiel 25:3. Because, &c.— See ch. Ezekiel 21:28. The Ammonites, Moabites and Edomites, though nearly related to the Jews, bore them a constant hatred, and took all opportunities to shew it when they were under any distress; particularly, at the time of the general captivity, and the destruction of their city and temple. We have no distinct account of the accomplishment of these prophesies: the sacred writers content themselves with predicting, without declaring the event. But we learn... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 25:3

3. ( :-). when . . . profaned; . . . when . . . desolate; . . . when . . . captivity—rather, "for . . . for . . . for": the cause of the insolent exultation of Ammon over Jerusalem. They triumphed especially over the fall of the "sanctuary," as the triumph of heathenism over the rival claims of Jehovah. In Jehoshaphat's time, when the eighty-third Psalm was written (Psalms 83:4; Psalms 83:7; Psalms 83:8; Psalms 83:12, "Ammon . . . holpen the children of Lot," who were, therefore, the leaders of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 25:1-7

1. Judgment on Ammon 25:1-7The first oracle against Ammon consists of two messages and consequently contains a double indictment and punishment. Ezekiel previously recorded an oracle against Ammon (21:28-32). Its placement there was evidently due to the presence of "sword of the Lord" terminology in that oracle, which the other prophecies in that chapter also contain, and the sequence of prophecies there. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 25:3

The Ammonites had rejoiced (cf. 26:2; 36:2) over the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem (cf. 24:21), the desolation of the land of Israel, and the exile of the Judahites (cf. 2 Kings 24:2; Jeremiah 49:1; Zephaniah 2:8-10). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 25:1-17

§ 1. Ammon, Moab, Edom, and PhilistiaThese four nations were the neighbours of Israel on the E., SE., and SW. respectively, and are dealt with in their geographical order. Ammon and Moab are denounced for their exultation at the fall of Jerusalem, Edom and Philistia for their revengeful share in Israel’s humiliation. All of them are threatened with destruction from God. The instruments of the judgment are to be the Bedouins of the desert in the case of Ammon and Moab, and Israel in the case of... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 25:1-32

Prophecies against Foreign NationsThese chapters come between those which deal with the overthrow of the Old Israel (1-24) and those which describe the establishment of the New Israel (33-48), and they form an introduction to the latter group. Their significance is well explained in Ezekiel 28:24-26. The fall of Jerusalem seemed to be a victory of heathendom over the people of the true God, and it was needful to show that it was not so. The God of Israel who had visited His people with this... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 25:1-17

Ezekiel 25:8 All the heathens spake evil of Israel, and the Prophet did the same, yet the Israelites were so far from having the right to say to him, 'You speak as the heathen,' that he made it his strongest point that the heathens said the same as he.

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-17

AMMON, MOAB, EDOM, AND PHILISTIAEzekiel 25:1-17THE next eight chapters (25-32) form an intermezzo in the Book of Ezekiel. They are inserted in this place with the obvious intention of separating the two sharply contrasted situations in which our prophet found himself before and after the siege of Jerusalem. The subject with which they deal is indeed an essential part of the prophet’s message to his time, but it is separate from the central interest of the narrative, which lies in the conflict... read more
