Isaiah 13:2
_ _ Lift ... banner — (Isaiah 5:26; Isaiah 11:10).
_ _ the high mountain — rather, “a bare (literally, “bald,” that is, without trees) mountain”; from it the banner could be seen afar off, so as to rally together the peoples against Babylon.
_ _ unto them — unto the Medes (Isaiah 13:17), the assailants of Babylon. It is remarkable that Isaiah does not foretell here the Jews’ captivity in Babylon, but presupposes that event, and throws himself beyond, predicting another event still more future, the overthrow of the city of Israel’s oppressors. It was now one hundred seventy-four years before the event.
_ _ shake ... hand — beckon with the hand — wave the hand to direct the nations to march against Babylon.
_ _ nobles — Babylonian. Rather, in a bad sense, tyrants; as in Isaiah 14:5, “rulers” in parallelism to “the wicked”; and Job 21:28 [Maurer]. |
Isaiah 13:2
A banner — To gather soldiers together. Mountain — Whence it may be discerned at a considerable distance.
