Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) Fenced with iron.--The thorns are to be handled with an iron hook on the end of a spear staff. The phrase, "in the same place," is used only here, and its meaning is quite uncertain. The Vulg. translates, to nothing, meaning to utter destruction; the LXX. substitutes the word shame. The English rendering is as well sustained as any.The Chaldee Targum upon these verses is very interesting, as giving the ancient Jewish interpretation of the prophecy. It is a much enlarged paraphrase, but gives a Messianic application to the whole. The following is a close translation of 2Samuel 23:1-3 : "(1) These are the words of the prophecy of David, which he prophesied concerning the end of the age, concerning the days of consolation which are to come. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was exalted to the kingdom said, the anointed by the word of the God of Jacob, and appointed that he might preside over the sweetness of the praises of Israel. (2) David said, In the spirit of prophecy of the Lord I speak these things, and the words of His holiness do I order in my mouth. (3) David said, The God of Israel spake concerning me, the Strong One of Israel who ruleth over the sons of men, the true Judge, said that He would appoint for me a king; He is the Messiah, who shall arise and rule in the fear of the Lord."Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThe manוְאִישׁ֙ (wə·’îš)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male person[who] touchesיִגַּ֣ע (yig·ga‘)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 5060: To touch, lay the hand upon, to reach, violently, to strikethemבָּהֶ֔ם (bā·hem)Preposition | third person masculine pluralStrong's Hebrew must be armedיִמָּלֵ֥א (yim·mā·lê)Verb - Nifal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 4390: To fill, be full ofwith ironבַרְזֶ֖ל (ḇar·zel)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1270: Iron, an iron implementor with the shaftוְעֵ֣ץ (wə·‘êṣ)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 6086: Tree, trees, woodof a spear.חֲנִ֑ית (ḥă·nîṯ)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 2595: A lanceThe fireוּבָאֵ֕שׁ (ū·ḇā·’êš)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-b, Article | Noun - common singularStrong's 784: A firewill burn them to ashesשָׂר֥וֹף (śā·rō·wp̄)Verb - Qal - Infinitive absoluteStrong's 8313: To be, on firein [the] place [where they lie].”בַּשָּֽׁבֶת׃ (baš·šā·ḇeṯ)Preposition-b, Article | Adjective - feminine singularStrong's 7675: Session, an abode, localityJump to PreviousArmed Arms Burned Burnt Cessation Completely Consumed Fenced Filled Fire Iron Provideth Rod Shaft Spear Staff Thorns Tool Touch Touches Toucheth Touching Uses Utterly
