"The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
The mirth of tabrets ceaseth,.... Or of drums, and such like musical instruments, used at junketings and jovial feasts. So when Babylon is fallen, the voice of harpers and musicians,
and of pipers and trumpeters, shall be heard no more therein, Rev 18:22 , the noise of them that rejoice endeth; the tumultuous noise of revelling persons at feasts and banquets, at marriages, and such like seasons; and so it is said, that when Babylon is destroyed, the voice of the bridegroom and the bride shall be heard no more at all therein, or the joy expressed on such occasions by their friends and companions, Rev 18:23 , the joy of the harp ceaseth; an instrument of music used on joyful occasions; the voice of harpers is particularly mentioned in Rev 18:22 .
