"For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
For, lo, the kings were assembled,.... As the princes of the Philistines to seek for David, when in the strong hold of Zion, Sa2 5:17 ; as the Ethiopians in the time of Asa, Ch2 14:9 ; and the Moabites and Ammonites in the times of Jehoshaphat, Ch2
20:1 ; and the kings of Syria and Israel in the times of Ahaz, Isa 7:1 ; and Sennacherib with his princes, who, in his esteem, were kings, in the times of Hezekiah, Kg2 18:17 ; which are instances of the kings, of the nations' gathering together against Zion, the city of Jerusalem, and people of the Jews, who were typical of the church of Christ; and that without success, and to their own confusion and destruction; though this seems to refer to the latter day of the Gospel dispensation, when all the kings of the earth, Pagan, Papal, and Mahometan, will be gathered together at the instigation of Satan, to the battle of the great day of the Lord God Almighty, in a place called Armageddon, where they will be defeated by Christ the King of kings, Rev 16:13 . Jarchi and Kimchi interpret the passage of Gog and Magog gathering together to fight against Jerusalem, with which compare Rev 20:8 ; they passed by together; either to the battle, as Jarchi explains it; or they passed by Jerusalem, the city of our God, the church, without entering into it, or doing it any harm.
