Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) That thy choicest valleys . . .--These were the valleys of Gibeon, Rephaim, Hinnom, and Jehoshaphat, which encircled Jerusalem on the west and south. They are painted as filled with the chariots and cavalry of the Assyrian army, ready to make their attack on the very gate of the city, the "great gate" named in Sennacherib's inscription (Records of the Past, i. 39).
