Commentary on Isaiah 10:26
Theological / DevotionalThe slaughter of Midian. In ch. 9:4 Isaiah had referred to the breaking of the rod of the “oppressor, as in the day of Midian.” Now he again likens the forthcoming destruction of the Assyrians to the blow delivered against the Midianites and their chieftains (Judges 7:19-25).
His rod. In Egypt, Pharaoh wielded a rod of oppression, but God wielded a rod of deliverance. When the Lord’s rod was stretched over the sea, the hosts of Egypt perished. As the Lord had prepared a scourge for the enemies of His people in ancient times, so the Lord would again smite the enemies who came against Zion in the days of Isaiah. And what the Lord did then, He will do again today. The faithful remnant, not the wicked, will triumph.
