Contextual Overview
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Their: Psalms 79:10, Matthew 23:35, Romans 8:36, Revelation 16:6, Revelation 17:6, Revelation 18:24
and there: etc. Either there was no friend or relation left to bury them, or none was allowed to perform this last sad office. The despotism of eastern princes often proceeds to such a degree of extravagance as to fill the mind with astonishment and horror. In Morocco, no person dares to bury the body of a malefactor without an order from the emperor; and Windus, speaking of a man who was to have been sawn in two, informs us, that "his body must have remained to be eaten by the dogs, if the emperor had not pardoned him." Psalms 141:7, Jeremiah 8:1, Jeremiah 8:2, Jeremiah 14:16, Jeremiah 15:3, Jeremiah 16:4, Jeremiah 25:33, Jeremiah 34:20, Revelation 11:9
Reciprocal: Genesis 50:5 - bury me 2 Samuel 14:14 - as water 2 Chronicles 36:17 - who slew Psalms 44:22 - killed Psalms 94:5 - break Jeremiah 7:33 - General Jeremiah 19:7 - and their Ezekiel 16:38 - shed Ezekiel 23:32 - thou shalt be Ezekiel 32:4 - General Zephaniah 1:17 - they shall Revelation 11:8 - their dead
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem,.... Without any concern of mind, or remorse of conscience; without any fear of God or man; as if it had been so much water only; and this they shed in great abundance: from the Apocrypha:
"And when he had taken all away, he went into his own land, having made a great massacre, and spoken very proudly.'' (1 Maccabees 1:24)
"And spake peaceable words unto them, but all was deceit: for when they had given him credence, he fell suddenly upon the city, and smote it very sore, and destroyed much people of Israel.'' (1 Maccabees 1:30)
"Thus they shed innocent blood on every side of the sanctuary, and defiled it:'' (1 Maccabees 1:37)
"So they rose up against them in battle on the sabbath, and they slew them, with their wives and children and their cattle, to the number of a thousand people.'' (1 Maccabees 2:38)
in like manner the blood of the saints has been shed by the antichristian beast of Rome, for which he and his followers will be righteously retaliated, Revelation 17:6
and there was none to bury them: either the number of the slain was so great, that there were not left enough to bury the dead, or they that did remain were not suffered to do it; this will be the case of the two witnesses, when slain, Revelation 11:7.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem - They have poured it out in such quantities that it seems to flow like water - not an uncommon occurrence in war. There was no event in the history of the Hebrews to which this description would be more applicable than to the Babylonian invasion. The language might indeed be applicable to the desolation of the city by Antiochus Epiphanes, and also to its destruction by the Romans; but, of course, it cannot refer to the latter, and there is no necessity for supposing that it refers to the former. All the conditions of a proper interpretation are fulfilled by supposing that it refers to the time of the Chaldean invasion.
And there was none to bury them - The Chaldeans would not do it, and they would not suffer the Hebrew people to do it.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 79:3. There was none to bury them.] The Chaldeans would not; and the Jews who were not slain were carried into captivity.
