Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Joel 3:19

_ _ Edom — It was subjugated by David, but revolted under Jehoram (2 Chronicles 21:8-10); and at every subsequent opportunity tried to injure Judah. Egypt under Shishak spoiled Jerusalem under Rehoboam of the treasures of the temple and the king’s house; subsequently to the captivity, it inflicted under the Ptolemies various injuries on Judea. Antiochus spoiled Egypt (Daniel 11:40-43). Edom was made “desolate” under the Maccabees [Josephus, Antiquities, 12.11, 12]. The low condition of the two countries for centuries proves the truth of the prediction (compare Isaiah 19:1, etc.; Jeremiah 49:17; Obadiah 1:10). So shall fare all the foes of Israel, typified by these two (Isaiah 63:1, etc.).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joel 3:18-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joel 3:19

Egypt — By Egypt we may understand all the enemies of the church who carry it toward the church, as Egypt carried it toward Israel. Edom — Edom was an implacable enemy to Judah in his greatest distress. And all who come under Edom's character are here threatened under this name. Judah — The people of God.
