Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

The first word should he rendered, “And it is decreed; She shall be laid bare. It is decreed.” All this took place, otherwise than man would have thought, because it was the will of God.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

MAURER makes it not a proper name, and translates, "It is established," or "determined" (compare Ge 41:32). English Version is more supported by the parallelism. led away captive--The Hebrew requires rather, "she is laid bare"; brought forth from the apartments where Eastern women remained secluded, and is stripped of her ornamental attire.
