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

4. men of . . . east—literally, "children of the East," the nomad tribes of Arabia-Deserta, east of the Jordan and the Dead Sea. palaces—their nomadic encampments or folds, surrounded with mud walls, are so called in irony. Where thy "palaces" once stood, there shall their very different "palaces" stand. Fulfilled after the ravaging of their region by Nebuchadnezzar, shortly after the destruction of Jerusalem (compare Ezekiel 21:22; Jeremiah 49:1-28). read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 25:5
5. Rabbah—meaning "the Great," Ammon's metropolis. Under the Ptolemies it was rebuilt under the name Philadelphia; the ruins are called Amman now, but there is no dwelling inhabited. Ammonites—that is, the Ammonite region is to be a "couching place for flocks," namely of the Arabs. The "camels," being the chief beast of burden of the Chaldeans, are put first, as their invasion was to prepare the Ammonite land for the Arab "flocks." Instead of busy men, there shall be "still and couching flocks." read more

6, 7. "Because thou hast clapped thine hands," exulting over the downfall of Jerusalem, "I also will stretch out Mine hand upon thee" (to which Ezekiel 21:17 also may refer, "I will smite Mine hands together"). hands . . . feet . . . heart—with the whole inward feeling, and with every outward indication.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 25:7
7. a spoil—so the Hebrew Margin, or Keri, for the text or Chetib, "meat" (so Ezekiel 26:5; Ezekiel 34:28). Their goods were to be a "spoil to the foe"; their state was to be "cut off," so as to be no more a "people"; and they were as individuals, for the most part, to be "destroyed." 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
