Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 17:5

_ _ harvestman, etc. — The inhabitants and wealth of Israel shall be swept away, and but few left behind just as the husbandman gathers the corn and the fruit, and leaves only a few gleaning ears and grapes (2 Kings 18:9-11).

_ _ with his arm — He collects the standing grain with one arm, so that he can cut it with the sickle in the other hand.

_ _ Rephaim — a fertile plain at the southwest of Jerusalem toward Beth-lehem and the country of the Philistines (2 Samuel 5:18-22).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 17:1-5.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 17:5

Gathereth — Taking care, as far as may be, that all may be gathered in, and nothing left. So shall the whole body of the ten tribes be carried away captive, some few gleanings only being left. Rephaim — A very fruitful place near Jerusalem.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 17:5

(g) As the abundance of corn does not fear the harvest men that would cut it down: no more will the multitude of Israel make the enemies shrink, whom God will appoint to destroy them.

(h) A valley which was plentiful and fertile.
