Proud helpers. — Literally, helpers of Rahab. (See Isaiah 30:7; Psalms 87:4.) But whether Rahab was Egypt, or a poetical name for the lost archangel, it is impossible to say. If the former, then there is a probable allusion here to the overthrow of Pharaoh and his hosts; but we lack evidence to make it plain. The phrase is evidently used as expressing the very ideal of strength — the race of the giants.
