Ezequiel 32:24-Jonás RVA

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 32:17-32

This prophecy concludes and completes the burden of Egypt, and leaves it and all its multitude in the pit of destruction. I. We are here invited to attend the funeral of that once flourishing kingdom, to lament its fall, and to take a view of those who attend it to the grave and accompany it in the grave. 1. This dead corpse of a kingdom is here brought to the grave. The prophet is ordered to cast them down to the pit (Ezek. 32:18), to foretel their destruction as one that had authority, as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 32:24

There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave ,.... The kingdom of the Medes and Persians lying in ruin, and the potent kings thereof in the state of the dead; with their army, as the Arabic version, slain and destroyed, and placed round about the grave of the king of Persia; for of him rather it is to be understood than of the king of Assyria, or of Egypt, as some: all of them slain, fallen by the sword ; either of the Scythians in the reign of Cyaxares; or of Nebuchadnezzar... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 32:24

There is Elam - The Elamites, not far from the Assyrians; others think that Persia is meant. It was invaded by the joint forces of Cyaxares and Nebuchadnezzar. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 32:17-32

The gathering of the guilty nations in Hades. This vision of the poet-prophet is one of the boldest and most sublime in the whole compass of literature. As a lofty flight of imagination it excites the wonder and admiration of every reader gifted with poetical appreciation. Ezekiel is bringing to a close his prophecies regarding the nations by which the land of Israel was encompassed. How far from the narrowness and the lack of sympathy sometimes attributed to the Hebrews was the prophet of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 32:17-32

Companionship in woe. The prophet is a man of power. He is a king bearing an invisible scepter. As a monarch wields only a borrowed power—a power lent by God—so a true prophet is God's vicegerent. Here he unfolds a terrible vision, the outline of a woeful reality. He leads the Egyptian king to the mouth of a vast abyss, in which lie multitudes of the vanquished and the slain. He is invited to contemplate the condition of those thus dishonored by the King of Babylon. And he is forewarned... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 32:17-32

A vision of the unseen world. In this highly figurative prophetic utterance we have— I. THE PROPHET 'S VISION ITSELF . He sees Egypt taking her place, as a fallen power, amongst the departed in the nether world. Nothing could save her; there was no reason why she should not go down as other guilty powers had done, "Whom did she pass in beauty?" ( Ezekiel 32:19 ). No distinction could be made in her case; she must "go down and be laid with the uncircumcised" ( Ezekiel 32:19 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 32:18-30

The world of the dead. "The strong among the mighty" are the inhabitants of the under-world who once were kings and heroes on earth. Now those monarchs of the dead stir themselves as they see great Pharaoh coming to join their company, and prepare to give him a stately though a gloomy welcome. I. THERE IS A WORLD WHERE THE DEAD YET LIVE . This world only appeared to be a realm of shades and desolation to the Jews of Old Testament times. For those who have not the life... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 32:24

There is Elam etc. The nation so named appears grouped with Asshur in Genesis 10:22 ; in Isaiah 11:11 it stands between Cush and Shinar; in Isaiah 22:6 its warriors form part of the host of Sennacherib; in Ezra 4:9 they are named as having been among the settlers in Samaria; in Isaiah 21:2 as joining with the Medes in the attack on Babylon; in Jeremiah 25:25 again coupled with the Medes among the enemies of Nebuchadnezzar; in Daniel 8:2 as the province in which Shushan was... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 32:24

See the marginal referenc. Elam answers to the country known to the Greeks and Romans as Elymais, near Persia and Media. The Elamites were a fierce and warlike people. In the records of Assurbanipal his final triumph over Elam seems to have been one of his proudest boasts. Elam no doubt in the decline of Assyrian power again asserted its independence and was again crushed by the Chaldaean conqueror. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 32:24-25

Ezekiel 32:24-25. There is Elam and all her multitude Which was conquered by Nebuchadnezzar: see note on Jeremiah 49:36. The nations mentioned in this and the following verse were probably confederates with the Assyrians, and fell when they did. Which caused terror yet have they borne their shame They have been shamefully subdued, and have lost their lives and glory together, as Asshur did before them. They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain, &c. Elam and her people have... read more
