Theological / Devotional

All the families. The various races subjugated by Nebuchadnezzar, and which furnished men to serve in the Babylonian armies.

Of the north. See on chs. 1:14; 4:6.

Nebuchadrezzar. Regarding this spelling see on ch. 21:2.

My servant. See chs. 27:6; 43:10. Cyrus was similarly designated as God’s “servant” in that he would do a work that God wished to have done (see Isa. 44:24 to 45:5).
