Commentary on Isaiah 46:2

Theological / Devotional

Gone into captivity. When Sennacherib destroyed the city of Babylon in 689 B.C. he carried away the statute of Marduk to Ashur as one of the spoils of war (see Vol. II, pp. 64, 65). There this idol remained till the reign of Ashurbanipal, when it was restored to Babylon. Isaiah graphically portrays the utter helplessness of the greatest of the Babylonian gods.
