Numbers 24:22 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive. Until Asshur shall carry thee away captive - The Assyrians and Babylonians who carried away captive the ten tribes, 2 Kings 17:6, and the Jews into Babylon, 2 Kings 25, probably carried away the Kenites also. Indeed this seems pretty evident, as we find some Kenites mentioned among the Jews after their return from the Babylonish captivity, 1 Chronicles 2:55.
