(Compare Jer 4:29).
fathers . . . not look back to . . . children--Each shall think only of his own safety, not even the fathers regarding their own children. So desperate shall be the calamity that men shall divest themselves of the natural affections.
for feebleness of hands--The hands, the principal instruments of action, shall have lost all power; their whole hope shall be in their feet. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
His strong horses - War-horses, chargers.
The rushing of his chariots - Rather, the rattling, the crashing noise which they make as they advance.
For feebleness of hands - The Philistines flee in such panic that a father would not even turn round to see whether his sons were effecting their escape or not. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
The stamping of the hoofs - At the galloping sound, -
Quadrupedante putrem sonitu quatit ungula campum,
is a line of Virgil, (Aen. 8:596), much celebrated; and quoted here by Blayney, where the galloping sound of the horses' hoofs is heard. In the stamping of the horses, the rushing of the chariots, and the rumbling of the wheels, our translators intended to convey the sense by the sound of the words, and they have not been unsuccessful. Their translation of the original is at the same time sufficiently literal.
The fathers shall not look back - Though their children are left behind, they have neither strength nor courage to go back to bring them off. |
29 The whole city [05892] shall flee [01272] for the noise [06963] of the horsemen [06571] and bowmen [07198] [07411]; they shall go [0935] into thickets [05645], and climb up [05927] upon the rocks [03710]: every city [05892] shall be forsaken [05800], and not a man [0376] dwell [03427] therein [02004].
