Commentaries

Matthew Henry's Commentary

22:1-9 The king of Judah is spoken to, as sitting upon the throne of David, the man after God's own heart. Let him follow his example, that he may have the benefit of the promises made to him. The way to preserve a government, is to do the duty of it. But sin will be the ruin of the houses of princes, as well as of meaner men. And who can contend with destroyers of God's preparing? God destroys neither persons, cities, nor nations, except for sin; even in this world he often makes it plain for what crimes he sends punishment; and it will be clear at the day of judgement.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

7. prepare—literally, "sanctify," or solemnly set apart for a particular work (compare Isa 13:3).

thy choice cedars—(Isa 37:24). Thy palaces built of choice cedars (So 1:17).
