Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 22:24

24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his fathers house , the off-spring and the issue , all vessels of small quantity ; from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons .

Of his own Kindred and Family, who shall all depend upon him, and receive Glory from him: of the House of David, which is called his fathers house, either because Kings are called the fathers of all their Subjects, both in Scripture, as 1 Sam. 24. 12. 2 Kings 5. 13. & 16. 7. and in other Authors; or, as Calvin ingeniously conjectures, because he was of the Blood Royal. Otherwise this had been no great Commendation to him, that he studied so much the Advancement of his own private Family. And this seems more probable, because this Character is opposed to that of Shebna, who was the shame of his lords, to wit, the King's house or Family, v. 18.

Great and small, the Children and Grandchildren of his Fathers House.

The meanest of them shall receive a Lustre and Advantage from their Relation to him.

All sorts of Vessels, great or small, mean or precious, may be hanged upon him, without any fear of falling; whereas ordinary Nails or Pins, if they be oppressed with too great weight, are easily broken down, and the Vessels fall with them.
