Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 3:26

_ _ gates — The place of concourse personified is represented mourning for the loss of those multitudes which once frequented it.

_ _ desolate ... sit upon ... ground — the very figure under which Judea was represented on medals after the destruction by Titus: a female sitting under a palm tree in a posture of grief; the motto, Judaea capta (Job 2:13; Lamentations 2:10, where, as here primarily, the destruction by Nebuchadnezzar is alluded to).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 3:16-26.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 3:26

Gates — The gates of Zion or Jerusalem, which, by a figure, are said to lament, to imply the great desolation of the place; that there would be no people to go out and come in by the gates, as they used to do. Shall sit — Like a mournful woman bewailing the loss of her husband and children.
