Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 14:9

_ _ Isaiah 14:9-11. The scene changes from earth to hell.

_ _ Hades (the Amenthes of Egypt), the unseen abode of the departed; some of its tenants, once mighty monarchs, are represented by a bold personification as rising from their seats in astonishment at the descent among them of the humbled king of Babylon. This proves, in opposition to Warburton [The Divine Legation], that the belief existed among the Jews that there was a Sheol or Hades, in which the “Rephaim” or manes of the departed abode.

_ _ moved — put into agitation.

_ _ for thee — that is, “at thee”; towards thee; explained by “to meet thee at thy coming” [Maurer].

_ _ chief ones — literally, “goats”; so rams, leaders of the flock; princes (Zechariah 10:3). The idea of wickedness on a gigantic scale is included (Ezekiel 34:17; Matthew 25:32, Matthew 25:33). Magee derives “Rephaim” (English Version, “the dead”) from a Hebrew root, “to resolve into first elements”; so “the deceased” (Isaiah 26:14) “ghosts” (Proverbs 21:16). These being magnified by the imagination of the living into gigantic stature, gave their name to giants in general (Genesis 6:4; Genesis 14:5; Ezekiel 32:18, Ezekiel 32:21). “Rephaim,” translated in the Septuagint, “giants” (compare see on Job 26:5, Job 26:6). Thence, as the giant Rephaim of Canaan were notorious even in that guilty land, enormous wickedness became connected with the term. So the Rephaim came to be the wicked spirits in Gehenna, the lower of the two portions into which Sheol is divided.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 14:4-23.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 14:9

Thrones — From their graves, which he seems to call their thrones by way of irony: the only thrones now left to them. Thrones both paved and covered with worms, instead of their former thrones, adorned with gold and precious stones.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 14:9

Hell from beneath is moved for thee to (f) meet [thee] at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, [even] all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

(f) As though they feared, lest you should trouble the dead, as you did the living and here he derides the proud tyranny of the wicked, who know not that all creatures wish their destruction, that they may rejoice.
