And Elam, &c.— And Elam beareth the quiver; with chariots cometh the Syrian, and with horsemen; and Kir uncovereth the shield. Lowth. The second member of the first part of this prophesy begins here, setting forth the Assyrian calamity, which was the forerunner of the greater one described in the former verses: And the first distress here foretold is, that the Assyrians, Medes, and Elamites should enter into Judaea in great multitudes, and possess the valleys near to Jerusalem. See on ch. Isaiah 21:2 and Isaiah 15:1. There is no doubt that the Medes and Elamites were united with the Assyrians in the time of Sennacherib, but not in that of Nebuchadnezzar; so that this prophesy must certainly refer to the former.
