Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerses 8, 9. - The effect of the Chaldean invasion was to bring the king down to the nether world of the dead. In the use of the plural "deaths" we have a parallel to the "plurima morris imago" of Virgil ('AEneid,' 2:369). And this death was not to be like that of a hero-warrior, but as that of those who are slain in the midst of the seas, who fall, i.e., in a naval battle, and are cast into the waters. Would he then repeat his boast, I am God?

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) Deaths.--The plural accurately represents the rare form of the original, and indicates emphatically a violent death.
