Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This bruised reed - The “tall reed of the Nile bulrush” fitly symbolized the land where it grew. Apparently strong and firm, it was quite unworthy of trust. Let a man lean upon it, and the rotten support instantly gave way, wounding the hand that stayed itself so insecurely. So it was with Egypt throughout the whole period of Jewish history (compare 2 Kings 17:4-6). Her actual practice was to pretend friendship, to hold out hopes of support, and then to fail in time of need.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 18:21. The staff of this bruised reed — Egypt had already been greatly bruised and broken, through the wars carried on against it by the Assyrians.
