Bible Comments

The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.

The kings ... and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary ... should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem. Jerusalem was so fortified that all thought it impregnable. It therefore could only have been the hand of God, not the force of man, which overthrew it.
