Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

24. said-virtually. Hast thou within thyself?

height-imagery from the Assyrian felling of trees in Lebanon (Isa 14:8; 33:9); figuratively for, "I have carried my victorious army through the regions most difficult of access, to the most remote lands."

sides-rather, "recesses" [G. V. Smith].

fir trees-not cypresses, as some translate; pine foliage and cedars are still found on the northwest side of Lebanon [Stanley].

height of . border-In 2Ki 19:23, "the lodgings of his borders." Perhaps on the ascent to the top there was a place of repose or caravansary, which bounded the usual attempts of persons to ascend [Barnes]. Here, simply, "its extreme height."

forest of . Carmel-rather, "its thickest forest." "Carmel" expresses thick luxuriance (see on [771]Isa 10:18; [772]Isa 29:17).
