Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 13:17

_ _ Medes — (Isaiah 21:2; Jeremiah 51:11, Jeremiah 51:28). At that time they were subject to Assyria; subsequently Arbaces, satrap of Media, revolted against the effeminate Sardanapalus, king of Assyria, destroyed Nineveh, and became king of Media, in the ninth century b.c.

_ _ not regard silver — In vain will one try to buy his life from them for a ransom. The heathen Xenophon (Cyropaedia, 5, 1, 10) represents Cyrus as attributing this characteristic to the Medes, disregard of riches. A curious confirmation of this prophecy.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 13:6-18.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 13:17

Medes — Under whom he comprehends the Persians. Not delight — Which is to be understood comparatively. They shall more eagerly pursue the destruction of the people, than the getting of spoil.
