Verse 23
By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel.
Mountains — I have brought up my very chariots to those mountains which were thought inaccessible by my army.
Lebanon — An high hill, famous for cedars and fir-trees.
Cut down — I will cut down the trees that hinder my march, and plane the way for my numerous army and chariots.
Lodgings — Those cities (which he calls lodgings in way of contempt) which are in his utmost borders. I am come into the land of Canaan at one border, Lebanon, and I resolve to march on to the other border, and so destroy the whole country, from one border to the other.
Carmel — The forest of mount Carmel, which may seem to be another inaccessible place, like Lebanon.
