And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD.
I will set my throne in Elam - I will show myself King by my judgments there, as though my tribunal were erected there. The throne of Cyrus, God's instrument set up over Media, of which Elam was a part, may be meant (Grotius). Or, rather, that of Nebuchadnezzar (Jeremiah 43:10). Then the restoration of Elam (Jeremiah 49:39) will refer partly to that which took place on the reduction of Babylon by Cyrus prince of Persia and Media; but ultimately and exhaustively to the coming restoration of all things under Messiah.
