Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - We have sought him, and he hath given us rest. In three successive verses the blessings of peace and quiet, and no war and rest, are recorded (Isaiah 26:1; Zechariah 2:5).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) Therefore.--And.These cities.--The "fenced cities" of last verse. Their names are unknown. Geba and Mizpah were fortified by Asa; but that was after the war with Baasha, which began in the twenty-sixth year of Asa (1Kings 15:33); see 2Chronicles 16:6. A general system of defence, like that of Rehoboam, who fortified as many as fifteen cities, seems to be indicated.Walls.--A wall.Gates (doors) and bars.--1Samuel 23:7, and 2Chronicles 8:5, supra, where "bars" is, as usual, singular, bariach. Here it is plural. . . .
