Isaiah 21:9
_ _ chariot of men — chariots with men in them; or rather, the same body of riders, horsemen two abreast, as in Isaiah 21:7 [Maurer]. But Horsley, “The man drawn in a car with a pair of riders.” The first half of this verse describes what the watchman sees; the second half, what the watchman says, in consequence of what he sees. In the interval between Isaiah 21:7 and Isaiah 21:9, the overthrow of Babylon by the horsemen, or man in the car, is accomplished. The overthrow needed to be announced to the prophet by the watchman, owing to the great extent of the city. Herodotus (1.131) says that one part of the city was captured some time before the other received the tidings of it.
_ _ answered — not to something said previously, but in reference to the subject in the mind of the writer, to be collected from the preceding discourse: proclaimeth (Job 3:2, Margin; Daniel 2:26; Acts 5:8).
_ _ fallen ... fallen — The repetition expresses emphasis and certainty (Psalms 92:9; Psalms 93:3; compare Jeremiah 51:8; Revelation 18:2).
_ _ images — Bel, Merodach, etc. (Jeremiah 50:2; Jeremiah 51:44, Jeremiah 51:52). The Persians had no images, temples, or altars, and charged the makers of such with madness [Herodotus 1.131]; therefore they dashed the Babylonian “images broken unto the ground.” |
Isaiah 21:9
Men — Not fitted with goods, but provided with men to fight. He — The prophet, who here gives an explication of the vision. He — God, by the hands of Cyrus. |
Isaiah 21:9
And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, [with] a couple of horsemen. And (m) he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken to the ground.
(m) The watchman whom Isaiah set up, told him who came toward Babylon, and the angel declared that it would be destroyed: all this was done in a vision. |

Jeremiah 51:27 Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.
