Ezekiel 32:20 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Now the prophet determines concerning the people, which die as others, fall undistinguished, and. as undistinguished, must be laid in the pit. They; the Egyptians. In the midst; in battle shall die. By the sword; either of one another in civil war, or of their neighbours they invaded, or of Babylonians that invaded them. She is delivered; the whole Egyptian kingdom is given up of God. To the sword of wasting enemies, especially of the Chaldean. Draw her; make no ceremony more than usually is made, when common soldiers, slain in the field where the battle is fought, are dragged by scores into mighty pits, and thrown into them promiscuously; or, as the interlude will bear it, suppose any of them unwilling to stoop, draw them to it against their will. All her multitudes, of soldiers and people, subjects, allies, and helpers of Egypt.
