Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Lamentations 2:3

Gimel

_ _ horn — worn in the East as an ornament on the forehead, and an emblem of power and majesty (1 Samuel 2:10; Psalms 132:17; see on Jeremiah 48:25).

_ _ drawn back ... fight hand — (Psalms 74:11). God has withdrawn the help which He before gave them. Not as Henderson, “He has turned back his (Israel’s) right hand” (Psalms 89:43).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Lamentations 2:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Lamentations 2:3

The horn — All their beauty and strength. Drawn back — God hath drawn back his assistance which he was wont to give the Jews against their enemies. Round about — God consumed them, not in this or that part, but round about, as a fire seizing an house at once on all sides.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes
