Isaiah14:2

2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD, for servants and hand-maids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were, and they shall rule over their oppressours .

Which they might do literally, and sometimes did, after their Return into their own Land, either by their Power with the Persian Monarchs, as in the days of Cyrus and Darius, and especially of Ahashuerus; or by their own Prowess, as in the time of the Maccabees. But this was more evidently and eminently verified in a Spiritual sence, in the days of the Gospel, when the Apostles and other Ministers, who were of the Jewish Nation, conquered a great part of the Gentile-world to the Worship and Obedience of their Messiah.

Marginal references: Heb. that had taken them captives.
