Isaiah 8:9
"Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Associate yourselves, O ye people,.... Both of Syria and Israel, whose two kings were confederate against Judah: and ye shall be broken in pieces; as the kingdom of Syria was by

Tilgathpilneser quickly after this, Kg2 16:9 and the kingdom of Ephraim or Israel by Shalmaneser, Kg2 17:6 , and give ear, all ye of far countries; the Assyrians, and the nations that belonged to them, who were more remote from Judea: gird yourselves; for a long and tedious march, and for war; it may signify the putting on of their whole armour; for, as Pausanius (s) says, the ancients used to call putting on of armour, girding: and ye shall be broken in pieces: as the Assyrian army was, which came up against Jerusalem in Hezekiah's time, Kg2 19:35 , gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; this is repeated for confirmation sake, to denote the certainty of it. (s) Boeotica sive, l. 9. p. 567.
