Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 38:13

_ _ Sheba, etc. — These mercantile peoples, though not taking an active part against the cause of God, are well pleased to see others do it. Worldliness makes them ready to deal in the ill-gotten spoil of the invaders of God’s people. Gain is before godliness with them (1 Maccabees 3:41).

_ _ young lions — daring princes and leaders.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 38:1-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 38:13

Sheba — This Sheba was southward, and contains all of that coast which assisted Gog. Dedan — By these are noted, the eastern nations that assisted. Tarshish — The inhabitants of the sea — coast westward, and Magog north. The young lions — Young men thirsty of blood, but more of spoil, resolve to join, if they may rob and spoil for themselves. Art thou come — This repeated enquiry seems to be an agreement to come to his assistance, on condition they might have, possess, and carry away what they seize.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

(h) One enemy will envy another because everyone will think to have the spoil of the Church.
