Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

from the swords: or, for fear of the swords, Heb. from the face of, Job 6:19, Job 6:20

Reciprocal: Isaiah 23:6 - Pass

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For they fled from the swords,.... Of their enemy, whom they could not withstand; perhaps the Assyrian army:

from the drawn sword; just ready to be sheathed in them:

and from the bent bow; just going to let the arrow fly at them:

and from the grievousness of war: too heavy for them to bear.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For they fled - The inhabitants of one part of the land.

The grievousness of war - Hebrew, כבד kobed - “the weight, the heaviness, the oppression” of war; probably from the calamities that would result from the march of the Assyrian through their land, either on his way to Judea or to Egypt.
