Isaiah 22:24 And they shall hang on him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity… A large part of the wealth of the ancients consisted of gold and silver vessels, and in changes of showy raiment, of which they made an ostentatious display, by hanging them on the spikes along the walls. It was also common to suspend in houses and temples, suits of armour, swords, shields, and helmets; the spoils of war, or the heirlooms of honoured ancestors (Song of Solomon 4:4). (J. N. Norton.) Parallel Verses KJV: And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons. |
