Lamentations 4:20
Resh
_ _ breath ... anointed of ... Lord — our king, with whose life ours was bound up. The original reference seems to have been to Josiah (2 Chronicles 35:25), killed in battle with Pharaoh-necho; but the language is here applied to Zedekiah, who, though worthless, was still lineal representative of David, and type of Messiah, the “Anointed.” Viewed personally the language is too favorable to apply to him.
_ _ live among the heathen — Under him we hoped to live securely, even in spite of the surrounding heathen nations [Grotius]. |
Lamentations 4:20
The anointed — Zedekiah, who though a bad man yet afforded some protection to the Jews. We said — We promised ourselves that though the land of Judah was encompassed with Pagan nations, yet through Zedekiah's valour and good conduct we should live comfortably. |
Lamentations 4:20
The (m) breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.
(m) Our king Josiah, in whom stood our hope of God's favour and on whom depended our state and life was slain, whom he calls anointed, because he was a figure of Christ. |
