Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 1:9

_ _ Jehovah of Sabaoth, that is, God of the angelic and starry hosts (Psalms 59:5; Psalms 147:4; Psalms 148:2). The latter were objects of idolatry, called hence Sabaism (2 Kings 17:16). God is above even them (1 Chronicles 16:26). “The groves” were symbols of these starry hosts; it was their worship of Sabaoth instead of the Lord of Sabaoth, which had caused the present desolation (2 Chronicles 24:18). It needed no less a power than His, to preserve even a “remnant.” Condescending grace for the elect’s sake, since He has no need of us, seeing that He has countless hosts to serve Him.

Matthew Henry's Commentary
