Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 22. - The virgin the daughter of Zion; i.e. Jerusalem (comp. Isaiah 1:8; Isaiah 10:32; Isaiah 16:1; Isaiah 52:2; Isaiah 62:11). The expression, "virgin daughter," is used also by Isaiah of Zidon (Isaiah 23:12) and of Babylon (Isaiah 47:1). The personification here is very effective. since it represents Jerusalem as a tender maiden, weak and delicate, yet still bold enough to stand up against Sennacherib and all his host, and bid him defiance. Confident in Jehovah, her Protector, she despises him, and laughs him to scorn; nay, "shakes her head at him," or rather. "after him," pursuing him with scornful gestures as In. retreats before her. (On shaking the head as a gesture of scorn, see Psalm 22:7; Psalm 109:25; Matthew 27:39.)

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(22) The virgin, the daughter of Zion.--The same phrase had been used in Isaiah 23:12 of Zidon. There the virgin had been "oppressed," i.e., "ravished" by the invaders, but Zion was to escape the ravisher, and laugh his lust to scorn.
