The prophet seems in this verse to introduce the next speakers in this parley, and bringing them in, gives their character. The strong; the powerful, the valiant, whose natural strength of body was great, and their courage greater, those that were strongest. Among the mighty; for feats they did, by which it appeared they might compared with others, pass for giants, mighty warriors. conquerors, and riders. Shall speak to him, the king of Egypt. Hell; or rather, the grave, where they lie without strength, as dead mortals, though while they lived they bore themselves as if gods and immortal. Them that help him; either these great ones shall speak to Hophra's helpers, or else these his friends, slain in his quarrel and dead before him, shall speak to him. Gone down to the grave: see Ezekiel 32:18. Uncircumcised; neglected and forgotten, or remembered with contempt: see Ezekiel 32:19.
