Contextual Overview

23About Damascus: 24Damascus has become weak;she has turned to run;panic has gripped her.Distress and labor pains have seized herlike a woman in labor. 25How can the city of praise not be abandoned,the town that brings me joy? 26Therefore, her young men will fall in her public squares;all the warriors will perish in that day.27I will set fire to the wall of Damascus;it will consume Ben-hadad’s citadels.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets,.... Or "verily" o so Jarchi interprets it as an oath; Jehovah swearing that so it should be; that her young men, her choice ones such who were the flower of the city, and on whom its future prosperity depended; these should fall by the sword of the Chaldeans in the streets of the city, when having entered, and taken it:

and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the Lord of hosts; soldiers and officers, men of strength and valour in whom the inhabitants of Damascus trusted for their defence; these should be cut oil by the sword of the enemy at the time of the siege, and taking of it.

o לכן "certe", Gataker.
