| raise them--that is, I will rouse them. Neither sea nor distance will prevent My bringing them back. Alexander, and his successors, restored to liberty many Jews in bondage in Greece [JOSEPHUS, Antiquities, 13.5; Wars of the Jews, 9,2]. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Behold I will raise them - If this promise relates to the same individuals who had been sold, it must have been fulfilled silently; as indeed the return of captives to their own land, unless brought about by some historical event, belongs not to history, but to private life. The prophet, however, is probably predicting God's dealings with the nations, not with those individuals. The enslaving of these Hebrews in the time of Joram was but one instance out of a whole system of covetous misdeeds. The Philistines carried away captives from them again in the time of Ahaz Ch2 28:18, and yet again subsequently Eze 16:27, Eze 16:57; and still more at the capture of Jerusalem Eze 25:15. |

15 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because the Philistines [06430] have dealt [06213] by revenge [05360], and have taken [05358] vengeance [05359] with a despiteful [07589] heart [05315], to destroy [04889] it for the old [05769] hatred [0342];
57 Before thy wickedness [07451] was discovered [01540], as at the time [06256] of thy reproach [02781] of the daughters [01323] of Syria [0758], and all that are round about [05439] her, the daughters [01323] of the Philistines [06430], which despise [07590] thee round about [05439].
27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out [05186] my hand [03027] over thee, and have diminished [01639] thine ordinary [02706] food, and delivered [05414] thee unto the will [05315] of them that hate [08130] thee, the daughters [01323] of the Philistines [06430], which are ashamed [03637] of thy lewd [02154] way [01870].
