Joel 3:14 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Multitudes, &c.— After the prediction of the slaughter of the enemies of God's people, Joel cries out with prophetic warmth and agitation, Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! as if he had said, "See what mighty numbers are brought together for their destruction!" The sentence, thus abrupt and broken, is very strong and emphatical. Instead of decision, Houbigant reads excision; and Chandler, very agreeably to the Hebrew word, the appointed valley; where God had appointed or determined to execute his judgments.
