Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 9:5

For every battle of the warrior - The expression used here has caused great difficulty, from the fact that it occurs nowhere else in the Scriptures. The word סאון se'ôn, rendered here battle, is supposed to mean rather greaves, or the armor of the warrior which covered the feet and the legs. It would be literally translated, ‘Every greave of those armed with greaves.’ - Gesenius. The Chaldee renders it, ‘Forevery gift of theirs is for evil.’ The Syriac, ‘Forevery tumult (of battle) is heard... read more

Isaiah 9:3. Thou hast multiplied the nation Thou hast made good thy promise to Abraham, concerning the multiplication of his seed, by adding his spiritual seed unto the carnal, by gathering in the Gentiles to the Jews, and making them both one people in Christ, John 10:16; Ephesians 2:14. For, in the Scriptures, the believing Gentiles are accounted the seed of Abraham as well as the Jews, Galatians 3:7-9.

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 9:4

Isaiah 9:4. For thou hast broken, &c. Bishop Lowth translates this verse, For the yoke of his burden, the staff laid on his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor hast thou broken, as in the day of Midian. The Jews had been under the yoke repeatedly, to one hostile people or another, and had been sorely oppressed by them; formerly by the Philistines, Moabites, Ammonites, and Midianites, and, in after times, by the Assyrians, Chaldeans, Persians, and Macedonians; and many and successive... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 9:5

Isaiah 9:5. For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, &c. With the triumphant exclamations of the conqueror, and the bitter lamentations of the conquered, and the different cries of the same persons, sometimes conquering and sometimes conquered; and garments rolled in blood With great difficulty and slaughter. But this shall be with burning, &c. But this victory, which God’s people shall have over all their enemies, shall be more terrible to their adversaries,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 9:1-7

Messiah, Prince of Peace (9:1-7)The southern kingdom under Ahaz was about to enter a time of increasing distress and darkness (see 8:21-22). The northern kingdom was about to be attacked by Assyria, and the tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali in the far north Galilean region were about to be taken into captivity (2 Kings 15:29). Yet out of this darkness and from this conquered northern area will come the great deliverer, the Messiah, to lead his people to victory and to introduce an era of light,... read more

The difficulty is not removed by reading lo , "to him", instead of l'o , "not" (which is the marginal reading of Hebrew text, and is followed by the Revised Version. Dr. C. D.

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 9:1-2

Isaiah 9:1-2. Nevertheless the dimness, &c.— The prophet having said, in the 20th verse of the preceding chapter, that they who directed not themselves according to the canon of the divine law should have no light; two things were involved in his discourse: The first, that there would be very many among the Jews, to whom the Messiah, arising with his new light, would be an offence; who would reject his salutary doctrine, and should therefore fall into the most grievous calamities, and thick... read more
