Isaiah 26:14

They are dead: i.e. the "other lords" of Isaiah 26:13 . Hebrew. methim . Not dead men, as such, for "all" men shall rise again (2 John 1:5; 2 John 1:5 :28 , John 5:29 . Acts 23:6 , Acts 23:8 ; Acts 24:15 . 1 Corinthians 15:22 .Revelation 20:4-6 , Revelation 20:13 ), but those referred to in Isaiah 26:13 .

deceased = the Rephaim . This is a proper name, and should not be translated. Where it is translated it is always rendered "giants" or "dead" (Isaiah 26:19 . Job 26:5 .Psalms 88:10 . Proverbs 2:18 ; Proverbs 9:18 ; Proverbs 21:16 . Proverbs 14:9 ); why not so here? or transliterated, as it is in Isaiah 17:5 .

they shall not rise. These Rephaim will not rise. They were the progeny of the fallen angels: these latter are kept "in prison" (1 Peter 3:19 ), in "chains" (2 Peter 2:4 .Jude 1:6; Jude 1:6 ), "reserved" unto judgment: but their progeny will "not rise"(verses: Isaiah 26:14 , Isaiah 26:19 ) or be judged, for they have been "visited", "destroyed", and:'perished".
