The Syrians; for although Rezin king of Syria was destroyed, yet the body of the nation survived, and submitted themselves to the king of Assyria, and served under him in his wars, and upon his command invaded Israel afterwards. Before, Heb. on the east; for Syria stood eastward from Israel. The Philistines behind; on the western side of the land of Israel. With open mouth; like wild and furious beasts, with great greediness and cruelty. His hand is stretched out still; his justice is not fully satisfied, but he will yet take further vengeance upon them.
