(a) There were two special reasons why the Israelites should not join with the Egyptians: first, because the Lord had commanded them never to return there, De 17:16,28:68 lest they should forget the benefit of their redemption: and secondly, lest they should be corrupted with the superstition and idolatry of the Egyptians, and so forsake God, Jer 2:18. (b) Meaning, that they forsake the Lord, if they put their trust in worldly things: for they cannot trust in both. Wesley's Notes 31:1 Horses - For Egypt had many and choice horses. Scofield Reference Notes Margin trust See Scofield Note: "Ps 2:12" Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary CHAPTER 31 Isa 31:1-9. The Chief Strength of the Egyptian Armies Lay in Their Cavalry. 1. and stay on horses, and trust in chariots-In their level and fertile plains horses could easily be used and fed (Ex 14:9; 1Ki 10:28). In hilly Palestine horses were not so easily had or available. The Jews were therefore the more eager to get Egyptian chariots as allies against the Assyrian cavalry. In Assyrian sculptures chariots are represented drawn by three horses, and with three men in them (see Isa 36:9; Ps 20:7; Da 9:13). Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 31:1-5 God will oppose the help sought from workers of iniquity. Sinners may be convicted of folly by plain and self-evident truths, which they cannot deny, but will not believe. There is no escaping the judgments of God; and evil pursues sinners. The Lord of hosts will come down to fight for Mount Zion. The Lion of the tribe of Judah will appear for the defence of his church. And as birds hovering over their young ones to protect them, with such compassion and affection will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem. He will so defend it, as to secure its safety. | |
