Isaiah 10:29 NIV

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 10:29

They are gone over the passage ,.... Or "from the passage" F2 מעברה "a transitu". ; not of Jordan, as the Targum; but rather of Michmash, 1 Samuel 13:23 this to be understood of the king of Assyria with his army: they have taken up their lodging at Geba ; or "Geba was their lodging"; that is, for a night only; not that they continued here for any time, as our version seems to suggest. This was a city in the tribe of Benjamin, Joshua 21:17 called Geba of Benjamin, 1 Kings... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 10:29

They are gone over the passage "They have passed the strait" - The strait here mentioned is that of Michmas, a very narrow passage between two sharp hills or rocks, (see 1 Samuel 14:4 , 1 Samuel 14:5 ;), where a great army might have been opposed with advantage by a very inferior force. The author of the Book of Judith might perhaps mean this pass, at least among others: "Charging them to keep the passages of the hill country, for by them there was an entrance into Judea; and it was easy... 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 10:29

They are gone over the passage . The "passage of Michmash" ( 1 Samuel 13:23 )—the deeply sunken valley, called now the Wady Sutveinit , between Michmash ( Mukkmas ) and Geba ( Jeba ). They have taken up their lodging at Geba ; or, at Geba they rest for the night . Having crossed the wady, they bivouac on the crest of the hills enclosing it on the south. Ramah … Gibeah of Saul . Ramah is, no doubt, Er-Ram , a village on an eminence, as the name implies, about six miles... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 10:29

They are gone over the passage - The word “passage” (מעברה ma‛ebı̂râh) may refer to any passage or ford of a stream, a shallow part of a river where crossing was practicable; or it may refer to any narrow pass, or place of passing in mountains. The Chaldee Paraphrase renders this, ‘They have passed the Jordan;’ but this cannot be the meaning, as all the transactions referred to here occurred in the vicinity of Jerusalem, and long after they had crossed the Jordan. In 1 Samuel 13:23, the... read more

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
