Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Lamentations 2:6

Vau

_ _ tabernacle — rather, “He hath violently taken away His hedge (the hedge of the place sacred to Him, Psalms 80:12; Psalms 89:40; Isaiah 5:5), as that of a garden” [Maurer]. Calvin supports English Version, “His tabernacle (that is, temple) as (one would take away the temporary cottage or booth) of a garden.” Isaiah 1:8 accords with this (Job 27:18).

_ _ places of ... assembly — the temple and synagogues (Psalms 74:7, Psalms 74:8).

_ _ solemn feasts — (Lamentations 1:4).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Lamentations 2:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Lamentations 2:6

His tabernacle — His temple. The places — The synagogues. The king — By the king and the priests are meant persons of greatest rank and eminency, though it is thought here is a special reference to Zedekiah the king of Judah, and Seraiah who was the high priest; the former of which was miserably handled, the latter slain.
