Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 14:20

_ _ not ... joined with them — whereas the princes slain with thee shall be buried, thou shalt not.

_ _ thou ... destroyed ... land — Belshazzar (or Naboned) oppressed his land with wars and tyranny, so that he was much hated [Xenophon, Cyropaedia 4.6, 3; 7.5, 32].

_ _ seed ... never be renowned — rather, “shall not be named for ever”; the Babylonian dynasty shall end with Belshazzar; his family shall not be perpetuated [Horsley].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 14:4-23.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 14:20

Joined — Not buried as they are. Slain — Thou hast exercised great tyranny and cruelty, not only to thine enemies, but even to thine own subjects. The seed — Such as Belshazzar was, being descended from that Nebuchadnezzar who had made such horrid slaughters and devastations in the world, merely to gratify his own insatiable lusts, and who had been so impious towards God and his temple, and so bloody towards his church and people. Renowned — Or, shall not be renowned for ever: although I have long borne with thee and thy family.
