Commentary on the Bible (1832)

The fishers shall stand upon it - On the above plan of interpretation these must mean - 1. The apostles of our Lord Jesus. 2. The preachers of the everlasting Gospel. See Mat 4:19. From En-gedi - At the southern extremity of the Dead Sea. Unto En-eglaim - At the northern extremity of the same. Their fish shall be according to their kinds - Every kind of fish, and the fish all excellent of their kinds.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

En-eglaim--En-gedi (meaning "fountain of the kid"), anciently, Hazazon-Tamar, now Ain-Jidy; west of the Dead Sea; David's place of refuge from Saul. En-eglaim means "fountain of two calves," on the confines of Moab, over against En-gedi, and near where Jordan enters the Dead Sea (Isa 15:8).
