Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Kings 13:7

_ _ made them like the dust in threshing — Threshing in the East is performed in the open air upon a level plot of ground, daubed over with a covering to prevent, as much as possible, the earth, sand, or gravel from rising; a great quantity of them all, notwithstanding this precaution, must unavoidably be taken up with the grain; at the same time the straw is shattered to pieces. Hence it is a most significant figure, frequently employed by Orientals to describe a state of national suffering, little short of extermination (Isaiah 21:10; Micah 4:12; Jeremiah 51:33). The figure originated in a barbarous war custom, which Hazael literally followed (Amos 1:3, Amos 1:4; compare 2 Samuel 18:31; Judges 8:7).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Kings 13:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes
