Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 27. - To overthrow their seed also among the nations. Like Ezekiel (Ezekiel 20:23), the writer regards the Babylonish captivity as in part a punishment for the sins committed in the wilderness. And to scatter them in the lands (comp. Leviticus 26:33; Deuteronomy 28:64). The Israelites were punished, not merely by being carried into captivity, but by being completely broken up as a nation, and "scattered" widely over Western Asia - some in Gozan and on the Khabonr (2 Kings 17:6), some in Haran (1 Chronicles 5:26), some in "the cities of the Modes" (2 Kings 18:11; Tobit 1:14 Tobit 3:7), others in Babylonia (2 Kings 24:14-16; 2 Chronicles 36:20; Ezekiel 1:1-3, etc.). The "scattering" has in later times increased ever more and more.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(27) Overthrow.--This verse is evidently copied from Ezekiel 20:23, but the psalmist has either intentionally or accidentally changed the prophet's verb "scatter" into "overthrow," just used in Psalm 106:26. The error, if an error, is as old as the LXX. version.
