Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 22:3

_ _ rulers — rather, “generals” (Joshua 10:24; Judges 11:6, Judges 11:11).

_ _ bound — rather, “are taken.

_ _ by the archers — literally, “by the bow”; so Isaiah 21:17. Bowmen were the light troops, whose province it was to skirmish in front and (2 Kings 6:22) pursue fugitives (2 Kings 25:5); this verse applies better to the attack of Nebuchadnezzar than that of Sennacherib.

_ _ all ... in thee — all found in the city (Isaiah 13:15), not merely the “rulers” or generals.

_ _ fled from far — those who had fled from distant parts to Jerusalem as a place of safety; rather, fled afar.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 22:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 22:3

Rulers — Zedekiah and his chief commanders, whose flight he foretells. Found — That remain there with Zedekiah in the siege; for those who had fled to the Chaldeans saved their lives and liberties. Bound — In fetters, Jeremiah 52:11. Fled — Who fled from Jerusalem, but were pursued and overtaken by their enemies, and bound, as others had been.

And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
