Isaiah 16:5 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.

And in mercy shall the throne be established. If Judah shelters the suppliant Moab, allowing him to remain in Idumea, a blessing will redound to Judah itself and its "throne."

And he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness - language so divinely framed as to apply to 'the latter days' under King Messiah, when "the Lord shall bring again the captivity of Moab," as the result of the restoration of Israel and Judah (Psalms 72:2; Psalms 96:13; Psalms 98:9; Jeremiah 48:47; Romans 11:12).

Hasting - prompt in executing.

5 And in mercy shall the throne be established:d and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
