Gill's Notes on the Bible
The elders have ceased from the gate,.... Of the sanhedrim, or court of judicature, as the Targum; from the gate of the city, where they used to sit and try causes; but now there was nothing of this kind done:
the young men from their music; vocal and instrumental; the latter is more particularly specified, though both may be intended; neither were any more heard; their harps were hung upon the willows on the banks of Euphrates, which ran through the city of Babylon, Psalms 137:1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The gate - The gate was the place for public gatherings, for conversation, and the music of stringed instruments.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 14. The elders have ceased from the gate — There is now no more justice administered to the people; they are under military law, or disposed of in every sense according to the caprice of their masters.
