Contextual Overview

23 The Lord spoke about Damascus. "The people of Hamath and Arpad will be dismayed because they have heard bad news. Their courage will melt away because of worry. Their hearts will not be able to rest. 24 The people of Damascus will lose heart and turn to flee. Panic will grip them. Pain and anguish will seize them like a woman in labor. 25 How deserted will that once-famous city be, that city that was once filled with joy! 26 For her young men will fall in her city squares. All her soldiers will be destroyed at that time," says the Lord who rules over all. 27 "I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will burn up the palaces of Ben Hadad."

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.
