Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 6. At thy rebuke ] It was not by any human means that this immense army was overthrown; it was by the power of God alone. Not only infantry was destroyed, but the cavalry also.
The chariot and horse ] That is, the chariot horses, as well as the men, were Cast into a dead sleep. - Were all suffocated in the same night. On the destruction of this mighty host, the reader is requested to refer to the notes on 2 Kings xix.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-12 - God's people are the meek of the earth, the quiet in the land, tha suffer wrong, but do none. The righteous God seems to keep silenc long, yet, sooner or later, he will make judgment to be heard. We liv in an angry, provoking world; we often feel much, and are apt to fea more, from the wrath of man. What will not turn to his praise, shal not be suffered to break out. He can set bounds to the wrath of man, a he does to the raging sea; hitherto it shall come, and no further. Le all submit to God. Our prayers and praises, and especially our hearts are the presents we should bring to the Lord. His name is glorious, an he is the proper object of our fear. He shall cut off the spirit of princes; he shall slip it off easily, as we slip off a flower from the stalk, or a bunch of grapes from the vine; so the word signifies. He can dispirit the most daring: since there is no contending with God, it is our wisdom, as it is our duty, to submit to him. Let us seek his favour as our portion, and commit all our concerns to him _________________________________________________
