Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 39:11

_ _ place ... of graves — Gog found only a grave where he had expected the spoils of conquest.

_ _ valley — So vast were to be the masses that nothing but a deep valley would suffice for their corpses.

_ _ the passengers on the east of the sea — those travelling on the high road, east of the Dead Sea, from Syria to Petra and Egypt. The publicity of the road would cause many to observe God’s judgments, as the stench (as English Version translates) or the multitude of graves (as Henderson translates, “it shall stop the passengers”) would arrest the attention of passers-by. Their grave would be close to that of their ancient prototypes, Sodom and Gomorrah in the Dead Sea, both alike being signal instances of God’s judgments.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 39:8-22.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 39:11

Gog — And to many of those with him; but many were given to the birds and beasts to be devoured. Graves — Gog came to take possession; and so he shall, but not as he purposed and hoped. He shall possess his house of darkness in that land which he invaded. The valley of the passengers — So called from the frequent travels of passengers through it from Egypt and Arabia Felix, into the more northern parts, and from these again into Egypt and Arabia. The sea — The Dead Sea. Hamon Gog — That is, the multitude of Gog.
