And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
(In) every place where the grounded - the decreed, appointed by God's firm decree: solidly founded, margin (Maurer.)
Staff - the avenging rod.
Shall pass, which the Lord shall lay upon him - the Assyrian; type of all God's enemies in every age.
(It) shall be with tabrets ... - `every passing through (infliction, Isaiah 28:15) of the appointed rod, which the Lord shall lay upon him, shall be with tabrets' - i:e., shall be accompanied with joy on the part of the rescued peoples.
And in battles of shaking - i:e., in shock of battles (Isaiah 19:16: cf. "sift ... sieve," Isaiah 30:28).
Will he fight with it - namely, Assyria.
