Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 26:9

_ _ engines of war — literally, “an apparatus for striking.” “He shall apply the stroke of the battering-ram against thy walls.” Havernick translates, “His enginery of destruction”; literally, the “destruction (not merely the stroke) of his enginery.”

_ _ axes — literally, “swords.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 26:1-14.
