Isaiah 10:32

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 10:24-34

The prophet, in his preaching, distinguishes between the precious and the vile; for God in his providence, even in the same providence, does so. He speaks terror, in Sennacherib's invasion, to the hypocrites, who were the people of God's wrath, Isa. 10:6. But here he speaks comfort to the sincere, who were the people of God's love. The judgment was sent for the sake of the former; the deliverance was wrought for the sake of the latter. Here we have, I. An exhortation to God's people not to be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:32

As yet shall he remain at Nob that day ,.... The same day he came from Gebim; and proceed no further as yet, but make a short stay, and prepare himself and army to march to Jerusalem the next day: the Jews say F12 T. Bab. Sanhedrin, fol. 95. 1. , that he performed all his journeys in one day; the same day he came to Ajath he came to Nob, where he stayed the remaining part of the day. Nob was a city of the priests, 1 Samuel 22:19 and so it is called in the Targum here; it was so near... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:20-34

CONSOLATION FOR THE FAITHFUL IN ISRAEL . The destruction of Assyria shall be followed—how soon, is not said—by the return of a "remnant of Israel," not so much to their own land, as to God ( Isaiah 10:20 , Isaiah 10:21 ). The remnant, however, shall be but a remnant—judgment shall have overtaken the balk of the people ( Isaiah 10:22 , Isaiah 10:23 ). Still, there is reason for the faithful to take courage and be of good heart; Assyria will shortly receive a check ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:24-34

The mighty laid low. I. ENCOURAGEMENT AGAINST FEAR . Let not Judah fear the Assyrian, who, like the Egyptian in the days of yore, wields over her the rod of the slave-driver. In a short time, the hot tide of Divine wrath will pass from Israel, and the Assyrians will in turn feel it. The scourge that was laid in the ancient time on the back of the Egyptian oppressor will be brandished over the heads of the Assyrians. Their burden will fall from Judah's shoulder, from Judah's neck the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:24-34

Rout and re-establishment: Divine interposition. I. THE APPEARANCE OF OVERWHELMING POWER ON THE SIDE OF SIN . The prophet gives a vivid description in Isaiah 10:28 -38 of the triumphant march of the Assyrian. Everybody and everything yields at his approach; opposition melts before him; his adversary is in his power; already his hand is on the prize he seeks. Sin often seems to be on a march that is irresistible, and to be secure of victory. Numbers, wealth, learning,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:28-32

This graphic portraiture of the march of an Assyrian army on Jerusalem is probably not historic, but prophetic. Isaiah sees it in vision ( Isaiah 1:1 ), and describes it like an eye-witness. There are at present no sufficient means of deciding to what particular attack it refers, or indeed whether the march is one conducted by Sennacherib or Sargon. Sargon calls himself in one inscription " conqueror of the land of Judah" (Layard, 'Inscriptions,' Isaiah 33:8 ), and the details of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:32

As yet shall he remain at Nob that day ; literally, yet that day ( is he ) at Nob to halt . The Assyrians pitch their camp at Nob, the priestly city destroyed by Saul ( 1 Samuel 22:19 ), 1 which was evidently within sight of Jerusalem. Major Wilson's conjecture, that it occupied the site of the later Scopus, is probable. read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 10:32

As yet shall he remain - This is still a description of his advancing toward Jerusalem. He would make a station at Nob and remain there a day, meaning, perhaps, “only” one day, such would be his impatience to attack and destroy Jerusalem.At Nob - Nob was a city of Benjamin, inhabited by priests; Nehemiah 11:32. When David was driven away by Saul, he came to this city, and received supplies from Ahimelech the priest; 1 Samuel 21:1-6. Nob must have been situated somewhere upon the ridge of the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 10:28-32

Isaiah 10:28-32 . He is come to Aiath Here the prophet returns to his former discourse concerning Sennacherib’s invasion of Judah, of whose march toward Jerusalem, the route of his army, and their several stations, he gives so minute a detail, that though the description is a prophecy, he seems rather to speak like an historian, who is relating facts already past. This is the fifth part of the prophet’s discourse, in which we have, 1st, the expedition of the Assyrian monarch, described in... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:5-34

Assyria’s pride and punishment (10:5-34)God is angry with the rebellious people of Israel and has used Assyria to punish them (5-6). Assyria, however, has no concern for God’s purposes and thinks it has won its victories by its own might. It therefore decides to attack Jerusalem, confident that it will conquer Judah as it has conquered other nations (7-9). It thinks that because the gods of other nations have not been able to save them from Assyria’s might, the God of Judah will not be able to... read more
