Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zephaniah 1:10

_ _ fish gate — (2 Chronicles 33:14; Nehemiah 3:3; Nehemiah 12:39). Situated on the east of the lower city, north of the sheep gate [Maurer]: near the stronghold of David in Milo, between Zion and the lower city, towards the west [Jerome]. This verse describes the state of the city when it was besieged by Nebuchadnezzar. It was through the fish gate that he entered the city. It received its name from the fish market which was near it. Through it passed those who used to bring fish from the lake of Tiberias and Jordan. It answers to what is now called the Damascus gate [Henderson].

_ _ the second — namely, the gate which was second in dignity [Calvin]. Or, the second or lower part of the city. Appropriately, the fish gate, or extreme end of the lower part of the city, first resounds with the cries of the citizens as the foe approaches; then, as he advances further, that part of the city itself, namely, its inner part; lastly, when the foe is actually come and has burst in, the hills, the higher ones, especially Zion and Moriah, on which the upper city and temple were founded [Maurer]. The second, or lower city, answers to Akra, north of Zion, and separated from it by the valley of Tyropoeon running down to the pool of Siloam [Henderson]. The Hebrew is translated “college,” 2 Kings 22:14; so Vatablus would translate here.

_ _ hills — not here those outside, but those within the walls: Zion, Moriah, and Ophel.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Zephaniah 1:7-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Zephaniah 1:10

The noise — The great out — cry and lamentation. The fish gate — At which gate the Babylonians first entered into the city. The second — This gate was in the second wall of Jerusalem, which on that side was fortified with three walls. Crashing — Of things broken into shivers; possibly the noise of doors, windows, closets, and chests broken up. The hills — On which the city stood.
