Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 11:10-16

We have here a further prophecy of the enlargement and advancement of the kingdom of the Messiah, under the type and figure of the flourishing condition of the kingdom of Judah in the latter end of Hezekiah's reign, after the defeat of Sennacherib. I. This prediction was in part accomplished when the great things God did for Hezekiah and his people proved as an ensign, inviting the neighbouring nations to them to enquire of the wonders done in the land, on which errand the king of Babylon's... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 11:13

The envy also of Ephraim shall depart ,.... With which it envied Judah, on account of the kingdom of the house of David, and the temple being in that tribe; not that this is the thing intended, only alluded to; the meaning is, that whatever envy or jealousy subsisted in the Gentile against the Jew, or in the Jew against the Gentile, should be no more, when gathered into one Gospel church state; or whatever of this kind has appeared in one Christian church, or denomination among Christians,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 11:14

But they shall flee upon the shoulders of the Philistines towards the west ,.... That is, Ephraim and Judah, who shall not only agree among themselves, but cheerfully join together against the common enemy: "they shall flee with the shoulder", as some render the words; with joint consent, as the phrase is used in Hosea 6:9 , Zephaniah 3:9 and so the Targum, "and they shall be joined together in one shoulder, to smite the Philistines;' the Septuagint version is, "they shall flee in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:10-13

THE JEWS AND GENTILES SHALL BE GATHERED TOGETHER INTO MESSIAH 'S KINGDOM . It is characteristic of "the evangelical prophet" that he dwells earnestly and frequently on the calling of the Gentiles (see Isaiah 2:2 ; Isaiah 19:22-25 ; Isaiah 25:6 ; Isaiah 27:13 , etc.). The prophecies to Abraham had repeatedly declared that "in him," or "in his seed," "all the families of the earth should be blessed" ( Genesis 12:3 ; Genesis 18:18 ; Genesis 22:18 ; Genesis... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:10-16

Judah and the nations. I. HONOR TO THE ROOT OF JUDAH . The scion from the ancient trunk will be honored far and wide among the heathen, because of those virtues already described in the preceding section. It will be a banner to which they will flock, a center of light and living oracles. II. REDEMPTION OF THE REMNANT . The mighty hand of Jehovah will be stretched forth to gather the scattered ones from all the four quarters of their dispersion. When the banner is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:13

The envy also of Ephraim shall depart . In the kingdom of the Prince of Peace there shall no longer be quarrels or jealousies among the members. Old feuds shall be put aside; the northern and southern tribes shall agree together, and there shall be peace and harmony throughout the entire Church. Adversaries of Judah . If any such remain among the Ephraimites, Divine vengeance shall "cut them off," that there be no open disturbance of the harmony. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:13-16

Conditions of victory. These verses probably point to the time when all Israel shall be gathered into the fold of the gospel, and when" their fullness" shall contribute largely to the conversion of the Gentile world (see Romans 11:1-36 .). But we may take a more practical view of the subject if we regard it thus; we have pictures of— I. PRESENT SPIRITUAL ANARCHY . The people of God everywhere dispersed, the theocracy broken up, the temple destroyed, the Law unobserved, the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:14

They shall fly upon the shoulders of the philistines . It is not to be supposed that actual war is intended. The subjects of the Prince of Peace will not draw the sword. But the Church will for many centuries be confronted by enemies, and must contend with them with legitimate weapons. It is this warfare of which Isaiah now speaks. The united Church will be strong enough to assail her enemies on all sides, and will "swoop" upon the border country of the Philistines like a bird of prey. They... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:14

The Church's triumph over its enemies. The Church of God will always have its enemies, both internal and external, and its external enemies will from time to time gather their hosts, and unite themselves together, and threaten it with destruction. Great was Israel's peril, and great her fear, when her enemies "consulted together with one consent, and were confederate against her: the tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the... read more
