イザヤ書 10:27-34 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:27

The power of the anointing. This verse is an exceedingly difficult one , because containing a poetical figure which modern associations do not readily explain. Literally, it seems to read, "The yoke shall be destroyed from before the oil," or "the fat." For various explanations see the Expository portion of the Commentary. What is clear is, that the yoke referred to is the bondage of Assyria laid on the house of David. This yoke shall be presently removed. The deep reason for the removal... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:28

He is come to Aiath . "Aiath" is probably Ai ( Joshua 8:1-28 ), with a feminine termination. It lay about three miles south of Bethel, which had become Assyrian with the conquest of Samaria. If an Assyrian army mustered at Bethel, it would naturally enter Judaean territory at Ai. He is passed to Migron ; rather, he has passed through Migron . "Migron" is mentioned as a village in the territory of Gibeah of Benjamin ( 1 Samuel 14:2 ); but the Migron of this passage must have been... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:28-32

This graphic portraiture of the march of an Assyrian army on Jerusalem is probably not historic, but prophetic. Isaiah sees it in vision ( Isaiah 1:1 ), and describes it like an eye-witness. There are at present no sufficient means of deciding to what particular attack it refers, or indeed whether the march is one conducted by Sennacherib or Sargon. Sargon calls himself in one inscription " conqueror of the land of Judah" (Layard, 'Inscriptions,' Isaiah 33:8 ), and the details of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:29

They are gone over the passage . The "passage of Michmash" ( 1 Samuel 13:23 )—the deeply sunken valley, called now the Wady Sutveinit , between Michmash ( Mukkmas ) and Geba ( Jeba ). They have taken up their lodging at Geba ; or, at Geba they rest for the night . Having crossed the wady, they bivouac on the crest of the hills enclosing it on the south. Ramah … Gibeah of Saul . Ramah is, no doubt, Er-Ram , a village on an eminence, as the name implies, about six miles... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:30

Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim . Gallim and Laish must have been villages between Geba and Jerusalem; but it is impossible to fix their site. Anathoth (now Aaata ) obtains mention in Joshua as a city of refuge in the territory of Benjamin ( Joshua 21:18 ). It was Jeremiah's birthplace ( Jeremiah 1:1 ). Gallim was the birthplace of the man who became the second husband of Michal, Saul's daughter. Laish is not elsewhere mentioned. Cause it to be heard unto Laish ; rather, ... read more

Madmenah …Gebim . These are, like Gallim and Laisha, villages otherwise unknown. They must have been within a mile or two of Jerusalem, towards the north. Their inhabitants fly as the Assyrians approach. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:32

As yet shall he remain at Nob that day ; literally, yet that day ( is he ) at Nob to halt . The Assyrians pitch their camp at Nob, the priestly city destroyed by Saul ( 1 Samuel 22:19 ), 1 which was evidently within sight of Jerusalem. Major Wilson's conjecture, that it occupied the site of the later Scopus, is probable. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:33

The Lord … shall lop the bough with terror . A check to the Assyrian arms is intended, but of what nature is not clear. The "lopping of the bough with terror " might indicate a panic, such as that which seized the Syrians and made Benhadad II . raise the siege of Samaria ( 2 Kings 7:6 , 2 Kings 7:7 ). But the expressions used later on," hewn down," "cut down," "shall fall," rather imply a defeat. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:34

He shall cut down ; or, one shall eat down ; Jehovah being, no doubt, intended. Lebanon (comp. Ezekiel 31:3 , "Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon"). Here the comparison is enlarged, and Assyria appears as Lebanon itself with all its cedar woods. By a mighty one ; rather, a glorious one (comp. Isaiah 33:21 , where the word here used —adir—is an epithet of Jehovah). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 10:27

His burden shall be taken away - The oppressions and exactions of the Assyrian.From off thy shoulder - We bear a burden on the shoulder; and hence, any grievous exaction or oppression is represented as borne upon the shoulder.And his yoke ... - Another image denoting deliverance from oppression and calamity.And the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing - In the interpretation of these words, expositors have greatly differed. The Hebrew is literally, ‘From the face of oil,’ מפני-שׁמן... read more
