Isaiah 22:2
_ _ art — rather, “wert”; for it could not now be said to be “a joyous city” (Isaiah 32:13). The cause of their joy (Isaiah 22:13) may have been because Sennacherib had accepted Hezekiah’s offer to renew the payment of tribute, and they were glad to have peace on any terms, however humiliating (2 Kings 18:14-16), or on account of the alliance with Egypt. If the reference be to Zedekiah’s time, the joy and feasting are not inapplicable, for this recklessness was a general characteristic of the unbelieving Jews (Isaiah 56:12).
_ _ not slain with the sword — but with the famine and pestilence about to be caused by the coming siege (Lamentations 4:9). Maurer refers this to the plague by which he thinks Sennacherib’s army was destroyed, and Hezekiah was made sick (Isaiah 37:36; Isaiah 38:1). But there is no authority for supposing that the Jews in the city suffered such extremities of plague at this time, when God destroyed their foes. Barnes refers it to those slain in flight, not in open honorable “battle”; Isaiah 22:3 favors this. |

Noises — Of joyful shouts. Tumultuous — Through revelling and jollity. Battle — But either by famine or pestilence in the siege, or in their flight. |

- that art:
Isaiah 22:12-13 And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth: ... And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.

Lamentations 4:9-10 [They that be] slain with the sword are better than [they that be] slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for [want of] the fruits of the field. ...
