Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 30:4

_ _ his — Judah’s (compare Isaiah 9:21).

_ _ at Zoan — are already arrived there on their errand to Pharaoh (see Isaiah 19:11).

_ _ came to Hanes — are come there. West of the Nile, in central Egypt: Egyptian Hnes; the Greek Heracleopolis: perhaps the Anysis of Herodotus (2.137); according to Grotius, Tahpanhes contracted (Jeremiah 43:7-9); the seat of a reigning prince at the time, as was Zoan, hence the Jewish ambassadors go to both.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 30:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

His princes — The princes of Judah. Hanes — An eminent city of Egypt.
