Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 62:4

_ _ be termedbe “forsaken,” so as that that term could be applicable to thee.

_ _ Hephzi-bah — (2 Kings 21:1), the name of Hezekiah’s wife, a type of Jerusalem, as Hezekiah was of Messiah (Isaiah 32:1): “my delight is in her.”

_ _ Beulah — “Thou art married.” See the same contrast of Zion’s past and future state under the same figure (Isaiah 54:4-6; Revelation 21:2, Revelation 21:4).

_ _ land ... married — to Jehovah as its Lord and Husband: implying not only ownership, but protection on the part of the Owner [Horsley].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 62:1-5.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 62:4

Forsaken — As a woman forsaken by her husband. Thy land — The inhabitants of the land. Hephzi — bah — My delight is in her; a new name agreeing with her new condition. Beulah — Married; agreeing to her new relation. Married — Thou shalt see the increase of thy children again in the land, as the fruit of thy married condition, which by reason of thy being forsaken of thy husband, were in a manner wasted and decayed: and this refers to the great enlargement of the church in the gospel days.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Thou shalt no more be termed (e) Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be (f) married.

(e) You will no longer be contemned as a woman forsaken by her husband.

(f) That it may be replenished with children.
