Isaiah 7:18
_ _ hiss — whistle, to bring bees to settle (see on Isaiah 5:26).
_ _ fly — found in numbers about the arms of the Nile and the canals from it (Isaiah 19:5-7; Isaiah 23:3), here called “rivers.” Hence arose the plague of flies (Exodus 8:21). Figurative, for numerous and troublesome foes from the remotest parts of Egypt, for example, Pharaoh-nechoh.
_ _ bee — (Deuteronomy 1:44; Psalms 118:12). As numerous in Assyria as the fly in marshy Egypt. Sennacherib, Esar-haddon, and Nebuchadnezzar fulfilled this prediction. |
Isaiah 7:18
The fly — The flies. So he calls these enemies, to imply their great numbers. In — In their extremity, where they go out into the sea. Rivers — Of the river Nile, which may be called rivers, either for its greatness, or because towards the end of it, it is divided into seven streams. When the Chaldeans had in good measure subdued the Egyptians, it is probable great numbers of the Egyptian soldiers listed themselves in the Chaldean army, and with them invaded the land of Judah. The bee — The Assyrian army, compared to bees, as for their numerous forces and orderly march, so for their fierce attempts and mischievous effects. Assyria — In the empire of Assyria, or Babylon; for these two were united into one empire, and therefore in scripture are promiscuously called sometimes by one title, and sometimes by the other. |

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD shall hiss for the (r) fly that [is] in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that [is] in the land of Assyria.
(r) Meaning, the Egyptians: for since the country is hot and moist, it is full of flies, as Assyria is full of bees. |
