Isaiah 32:1 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness - If King Hezekiah were a type of Christ, then this prophecy may refer to his time; but otherwise it seems to have Hezekiah primarily in view. It is evident, however, that in the fullest sense these words cannot be applied to any man; God alone can do all that is promised here.

And princes - ושרים ve-sarim, without ל lamed, to; so the ancient Versions. An ancient MS. has ושריו vesaraiv, and his princes.

Isaiah 32:1
