Contextual Overview

³⁶ The Lorde sayde moreouer vnto me, Thou sonne of man, wilt thou not iudge Aholah and Aholibah? shewe them their abhominations. ³⁷ [Namely] that they haue broken their wedlocke, and blood is in their handes: and with their idols haue they comitted adulterie, and haue also caused their sonnes whom they bare vnto me, to passe [by the fire] to be their meate. ³⁸ Yea and this haue they done vnto me also, they haue defiled my sanctuarie in the same day, and haue prophaned my Sabbathes. ³⁹ For when they had slayne their children for their idols, they came the same day into my sanctuarie to defile it: and lo thus haue they done in my house. ⁴⁰ And howe much more [is it] that they sent for men to come from farre, vnto whom a messenger was sent, and lo they came? for whom thou didst washe thy selfe, and paynted thine eyes, and deckedst thee with ornamentes. ⁴¹ Thou sattest vpon a stately bed, and a table spread before it, whervpon thou hast set mine incense and mine sylc. ⁴² And a noyse of a mery company at it, and with the men, beside the multitude of the people, were brought men of Saba out of the desert, which gaue them bracelettes vpon their handes, and beautifull crownes vpon their heades. ⁴³ And I sayd vnto her that was worne in her adulteries, Nowe shall her fornications come to an ende, and she also. ⁴⁴ And they went in to her as they go vnto a common harlot: euen so went they [I say] to Aholah and Aholibah, those wicked women. ⁴⁵ And the righteous men, they shall iudge the after the maner of harlottes, and after the maner of murtherers: for they are harlottes, and blood is in their handes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For thus saith the Lord God, I will bring up a company upon them,.... Or, "do thou bring up a company upon them" m, or "against them". The Targum represents it as spoken to the prophet, thus,

"prophesy that armies shall come up against them.''

Kimchi interprets it as we do, "I will bring up", c. and so others n. By this "company" is to be understood the Chaldean army, whom God in his providence, and in righteous judgment, would bring up against the Jews styled a "convocation" o, assembly or congregation, in allusion to the sanhedrim, or court of judicature, that took cognizance of such crimes, and judged and condemned for them:

and will give them to be removed and spoiled; or, "for a removing", and a "spoil" p; that is, he would give the Jews into the hands of the Chaldean army; their persons to be carried captive into other lands, and their substance to be spoiled and plundered.
