Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

strong: Pharaoh is here represented as descending into the regions of the dead, whither many mighty warriors and potentates had gone before him, who welcome him to their dreary mansion. Ezekiel 32:27, Isaiah 1:31, Isaiah 14:9, Isaiah 14:10, Luke 16:23, Luke 16:24

gone: Ezekiel 32:19, Ezekiel 32:24, Ezekiel 32:25, Numbers 16:30-34, Psalms 9:17, Psalms 55:15, Proverbs 14:32

Reciprocal: Job 21:32 - he be Ezekiel 26:16 - all the princes Ezekiel 28:10 - the deaths Ezekiel 31:18 - thou shalt Ezekiel 32:18 - unto the Habakkuk 2:6 - take

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The strong among the mighty shall speak to him,.... The strongest of them, such who have excelled others in strength and courage, famous for military exploits, who have been generals of armies, great warriors, and conquerors; and yet with all their might and strength could not withstand death, but were subdued by it, and brought down to the grave; these are, by a poetical figure, represented as meeting Pharaoh king of Egypt, when he came to his grave, saluting and welcoming him to the state of the dead in which they were; taking a sort of comfort in it, and insulting him as being as weak as they; see

Isaiah 14:9, which they should do

out of the midst of hell, or the grave, "Hades", the state of the dead:

with them that help him; the associates, allies, and friends of Pharaoh, his auxiliaries that fell with him, and were brought to the grave at the same time with him; these should be greeted, saluted, and welcomed in like manner:

they are gone down; to the grave; those mighty ones that are represented as speaking, and the Egyptians and their helpers who are spoken to:

they lie uncircumcised; among them that are so, Ezekiel 32:19:

slain by the sword; of their enemies, who got the victory over them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The uncircumcised - throughout this dirge is equivalent to pagan viewed as impure (Ezekiel 31:18 note).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 32:21. Out of the midst of hell — שאול sheol, the catacombs, the place of burial. There is something here similar to Isaiah 14:9, where the descent of the king of Babylon to the state of the dead is described.
