Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem. During the long siege (eighteen months) the number slain in the neighbourhood of Jerusalem would be very large. And there was none to bury them (compare the prophecy of Jeremiah, Jeremiah 14:16). The population being for the most part carried into captivity, and but few left in the land (Jeremiah 52:15, 16), the bodies of the slain lay unburied, the few left not being able to bury them. Compare the preceding verse.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Their blood.--In 1 Maccabees 7:17, we read "The flesh of thy saints and their blood have they shed round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them," introduced by "according to the word which he wrote." This is evidently a free quotation from this psalm, and seems to imply a reference to a contemporary.None to bury.--For this aggravation of the evil comp. Jeremiah 14:16; Jeremiah 22:18-19.
