Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 9:4

Theological / Devotional

Broken the yoke. Christ came to break the bonds of sin and to relieve men of the pressing burden of guilt and care that rested so heavily upon them (Isa. 61:1,2; see on Luke 4:18, 19; Matt. 11:28-30).

The day of Midian. During the days of the judges Israel was frequently under the heavy hand of an oppressor, but eventually liberated by a national hero (see Vol. II, pp. 45-50). Gideon achieved a glorious victory over an overwhelming host, broke the power of the Midianites, and set his people free (Judges 7:19-25).
