| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The remnant that is escaped - Terrible ravages seem to have been committed in the first attack (Kg2 18:13 note). And though the second invasion was comparatively harmless, yet it probably fell heavily on the cities of the west and the southwest. Thus the "escaped" were but "a remnant."
Bear fruit upward - The flourishing time of Josiah is the special fulfillment of this prophecy Kg2 23:15-20. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| The remnant, &c. - They shall be well fixt and provided for themselves, and then do good to others. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| The remnant - shall yet again take root - As your corn shall take root in the soil, and bring forth and abundantly multiply itself, so shall the Jewish people; the population shall be greatly increased, and the desolations occasioned by the sword soon be forgotten. |
