Commentary on Isaiah 22:23

Theological / Devotional

As a nail. Or, “as a peg,” either for fastening a tent to the ground or on which to hang household articles. It is used here in the latter sense, as a symbol of something that is fast and secure and upon which men may place their confidence. For a glorious throne. Eliakim would be an honor to the hitherto obscure house of his father. It is the Lord who thus raises the poor and lowly to positions of trust and honor (1 Sam. 2:7, 8; see on Luke 14:11).
