Isaiah 28:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

He explains how, or wherein, God would glorify and beautify them, even by giving wisdom to their rulers, and courage to their soldiers; which two things contribute much to the strength, and safety, and glory of a nation. To them that turn the battle to the gate; to their warriors; whom he describeth by this phrase, to intimate that their valour should be crowned with success, and that they should not only drive their enemies from their own gates and land, but should pursue them into their own lands, and besiege them in their own cities, which Hezekiah did; 2 Kings 18:8.

Isaiah 28:6

6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
