Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Revelation 6:15

_ _ kings ... hid themselves — Where was now the spirit of those whom the world has so greatly feared? [Bengel].

_ _ great men — statesmen and high civil officers.

_ _ rich men ... chief captains — The three oldest manuscripts, A, B, C, transpose thus, “chief captains ... rich men.”

_ _ mighty — The three oldest manuscripts, A, B, and C read, “strong” physically (Psalms 33:16).

_ _ in — literally “into”; ran into, so as to hide themselves in.

_ _ dens — “caves.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Revelation 6:9-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Revelation 6:15

And the kings of the earth — They who had been so in their day. And the great men and chief captains — The generals and nobles. Hid themselves — So far as in them lay. In the rocks of the mountains — There are also rocks on the plains; but they were rocks on high, which they besought to fall upon them.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Revelation 6:15

(10) And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

(10) The event of the sign before: that there is no man who will not be amazed at that worldwide upheaval, fly away in fear and hide himself in this verse, and wish to die, because of the exceeding horror of the wrath of God, and of the Lamb, at which before he was amazed. Now this confusion is not on the part of the godly but of the wicked, whose portion is in this life; (Psalms 17:14). Not that sorrow which is according to God, which works repentance to salvation, of which a man shall never repent him, but that worldly sorrow that brings death; (2 Corinthians 7:9) as their wishes declare: for this history of the whole world, is separated from the history of the Church, as I have showed before. See Revelation 4:1
