Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 32:27

27 And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war, and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquity shall be upon their bones , though they were the terrour of the mighty in the land of the living.

The leaders of these Scythians were not buried with a pomp like that of Ashur, or Elam, but surprised by the fraud of Halyattes and Cyaxares, were cut off with all their multitude, and tumbled into pits with the rabble.

A Ceremony observed in pompous Funerals of great Captains, to have their Weapons, and their Armour carryed before the Hearse.

Either, when carryed out to be buryed, or laid under their Head in their Graves; or perhaps under the Statues of them made, and laid on the tops of their Tombs; these Barbarous Scythians were not so buried.

The exemplary punishment of their iniquity.

Shall be seen upon their bones unburied, and cast out on the Earth by the just judgment of God.

Because they were cruel, pour ce que bloody, ravenous, and mischievously Tyrannical, while they lived.

Cyaxares, and the Persians, that durst not again attempt Nineve, till the Scythians were fallen.
