Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

cliff: Heb. ascent

Ziz: The cliff of Ziz was probably near Ziza, which Ptolemy places in Arabia Petrae, long. 69, 11/24 degrees lat. 31 degrees.

brook: or, valley

the wilderness: The wilderness of Jeruel seems, from 2 Chronicles 20:20, to have been a part of the wilderness of Tekoa.

Reciprocal: Joshua 11:6 - morrow

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Tomorrow go ye down against them,.... This was the fast day, and so not proper to march out in, but on the morrow they might go out with great confidence and intrepidity; and as Jerusalem was situated on an eminence, they are directed to go down:

behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; a steep hill, so called from the flowers upon it:

and ye shall find them at the end of the brook; on the bank of Kidron, according to Beckius, which seems not likely to be meant, since they went as far as the wilderness of Tekoa, 2 Chronicles 20:20,

before the wilderness of Jeruel; the same with that of Tekoa, or near it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The prophet uses words familiar to the people, and connected with several great deliverances (see the marginal references).

2 Chronicles 20:16

By the “cliff (or, rather - as in the margin - ascent) of Ziz,” we must understand the mountain path which leads up from Engedi across the elevated tract still known as El-Husasah, in the direction of Tekoa 2 Chronicles 20:20.

At the end of the brook - Rather, “at the end of the gulley,” or dry torrent-course. No name like Jeruel has been as yet found in this district.
