Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 24. - The watch-tower. See 2 Chronicles 26:10, where, however, the ordinary מִגְדָּל, and not the present word (only found, except as a proper name, here and Isaiah 21:8), is employed. It is scarcely likely that a built watch-tower is intended even here, but rather a lofty site and point of view from which a large number of people could see. The proper names Mitzpeh (Mizpeh) and Mitzpah (Mizpah) are of course familiar. They looked unto the multitude. Judah and its army and heralding Levite singers would see now in new significance the thing said by Jahaziel in our ver. 16, "Ye shall find them at the end of the brook-course, before the wilderness of Jeruel." And none escaped; i.e. "without an exception.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(24) And when Judah came.--Now Judah had come; by the time the slaughter was complete.Toward the watch tower.--The look-out of the desert. A height overlooking the wilderness of Jeruel (2Chronicles 20:16). The word mizpeh means watch-tower in Isaiah 21:8.They looked.--And they looked.Behold, they were dead bodies.--Comp. 2Kings 19:35.None escaped.--No survivors were anywhere visible. Vulg., "Porro Juda cum venisset ad speculam quae respicit solitudinem vidit procul . . . nec superesse quemquam qui necem potuisset evadere."
