Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

The Ammonites were next, both in kindred and neighbourhood, to the Moabites, and therefore are next set to the bar.

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 (Jer 43:10).
