Isaiah 28:6 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate. The battle to the gate "The war to the gate of the enemy" - That is, who pursue the fleeing enemy even to the very gates of their own city. "But we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate," 2 Samuel 11:23; that is, we drove the enemy back to their own gates. See also 1 Samuel 17:52. The Targum says, The Messiah shall give the victory to those who go out to battle, that he may bring them back to their own houses in peace.
