Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword,.... Of the kings of Syria and Israel, even great numbers of them, 2Ch 28:5. and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this; for this idolatry; or they were, though afterwards dismissed, 2Ch 28:8 and some of them were still in captivity, perhaps such as were carried captive by the Edomites, 2Ch 28:17.
