Ezekiel 25:15 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 25:8-17

Three more of Israel's ill-natured neighbours are here arraigned, convicted, and condemned to destruction, for contributing to and triumphing in Jerusalem's fall. I. The Moabites. Seir, which was the seat of the Edomites, is joined with them (Ezek. 25:8), because they said the same as the Moabites; but they were afterwards reckoned with by themselves, Ezek. 25:12. Now observe, 1. What was the sin of the Moabites; they said, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen. They... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 25:15

Thus saith the Lord God ,.... Once more, and concerning another enemy of the people of Israel, and who had been of old an implacable one: because the Philistines have dealt by revenge : for what they suffered in the times of Saul, when Goliath was slain by David, and their army was discomfited; and for the overthrow of them by David, when he came to throne; and for his burning their images, and subduing them, 1 Samuel 17:51 , this revenge they took in the time of Ahaz, 2 Chronicles... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 25:15

Because the Philistines - They were as inimical to the Jews as the Ammonites, etc., were. Nebuchadnezzar punished them because they had assisted the Tyrians during the time he was besieging their city. I will cut of the Cherethims - See the note on 2 Samuel 8:18 . The remnant of the sea coasts - The different seignories of the Philistines inhabited the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, from Judea to Egypt. For other matters relative to these prophecies, see Jeremiah 47:4 ; (note). ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-17

A prophet's work was hardly complete without such a survey of the Divine order of the world so far as it came within the horizon of his thoughts; and Ezekiel had before him the example of like groups of prophecies addressed to the heathen nations with which Israel was brought into contact, in Isaiah 13-23. and Jeremiah 46-51. It was natural that the two contemporary prophets should be led to address their messages to the same nations, and so we find Ezekiel's seven named together with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-17

The tribunal of nations. The Hebrews in captivity might, with probability, suppose that, since God had employed other armies to chastise Israel, such nations were without sin, or else their sins had been condoned by God. Nothing of the sort. God is no Respecter of nations. Righteousness everywhere is acceptable to him. Unrighteousness anywhere is offensive. And touching the degrees of iniquity, he claims to be Supreme Judge and the wise Punisher. Because he employs men in his service, he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:15

The sin of the Philistines is virtually the same as that of the Edomites. They also had a perpetual hatred. Century after century they had been, with various fortunes, the enemies of Israel—defeated (to confine ourselves to more recent history) by Jehoshaphat ( 2 Chronicles 17:11 ) and Uzziah ( 2 Chronicles 26:6 ), formidable under Jehoram ( 2 Chronicles 21:16 ) and Ahaz ( 2 Chronicles 28:18 ), repressed by Hezekiah ( Isaiah 14:31 ), combining with Amalek, and Ammon, and Tyre, and... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:15-17

The hating nation. The Philistines are signalized by an ugly preeminence in hatred, and they are to be punished with an extremity of Divine vengeance. 1. THE PRE - EMINENT HATRED . Partly through her own mischief-making, but largely on account of unwarrantable jealousy, the favored land of Israel had been troubled with the enmity of most of her neighbors. But no people had shown such bitter and long-cherished animosity as the little fishing and farming community on its... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:15-17

The old hatred. Between the Israelites, the children of light, and the Philistines, the children of darkness, there existed for centuries almost uninterrupted hostility. Their position upon the coast, their powerful cities, their formidable warriors, their imposing yet debasing religion, concurred to make them mighty. And the immediate neighborhood of the descendants of Abraham brought the two peoples into frequent collision. The Philistines were sometimes used as the means of humiliating... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:15-17

The heinous sin and severe punishment of the Philistines. "Thus saith the Lord God; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge," etc. This paragraph treating of the Philistines is similar in its prominent features to those which dealt with the Ammonites, Moabites, and Edomites, especially the last. In each case there is a setting forth of the sin and an announcement of the punishment. And there is a close resemblance between the Edomites and the Philistines, both in their sin and in... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 25:15-17

The Philistines occupying lands to the south of Judah were a Hamite race Genesis 10:14, but of a different branch from the Canaanites. They were a powerful people never dispossessed by the Israelites Joshua 13:3. They were a thorn in the side of the chosen people throughout, and joined in attacking Jerusalem in the day of her trouble. They were much reduced by the Assyrians Isaiah 14:31, and Egyptians Jeremiah 47:1-7, before the time of this prophecy, but further destruction came upon them in... read more
