Ezekiel 19:7
_ _ knew ... desolate palaces — that is, claimed as his own their palaces, which he then proceeded to “desolate.” The Hebrew, literally “widows”; hence widowed palaces (Isaiah 13:22). Vatablus (whom Fairbairn follows) explains it, “He knew (carnally) the widows of those whom he devoured” (Ezekiel 19:6). But thus the metaphor and the literal reality would be blended: the lion being represented as knowing widows. The reality, however, often elsewhere thus breaks through the veil.
_ _ fullness thereof — all that it contained; its inhabitants. |
Ezekiel 19:7
He knew — By taking them, he came to know their places, which are here called, what he made them, desolate. Roaring — By the perpetual violent threats of this cruel king. |
