Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 49:23-27

Jeremiah 49:23-Daniel : . Damascus.— The prophecy refers to the Aramæ ans; Hamath, 110 miles N. of Damascus, and Arpad, 95 m. N. of Hamath, never belonged to the Damascene kingdom. They were absorbed into the Assyrian empire c. 720 B.C.; cf. Isaiah 10:9. There is no mention of these cities in the list of foreign prophecies, Jeremiah 25:18 ff.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 49:24

Syria, whose head is Damascus, hath lost her old courage and valour; it was wont to be a formidable country to its neighbours, but now they flee before their enemies. Fear hath seized on her; they are seized, and overpowered by their own fears. Anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail; great sorrows are ordinarily in Scripture expressed by the similitude of the pains of a woman in travail; we have met with it often in this prophecy, Jeremiah 6:24; Jeremiah 22:23; so Psalms... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 49:1-39

Jeremiah 49:1 . Hath Israel no sons; hath he no heir? In this bold and striking manner the prophet commences his elegy on Ammon. The king of Ammon had in times of war, seized the cities of Gad. By every art he had aimed at aggrandizement, but could never do it by the clashing of interests. His army had invaded Gilead, and ripped up the women with child, that they might enlarge their territory. Amos 1:13. Jeremiah 49:2 . I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah and her daughters... read more
