Isaiah31:8
8. Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man, and the sword, not of a mean man shall devour him, but he shall flee from the sword , and his young men shall be discomfited.
When you have cast away your Idols, and seriously sought to Me for Help; both which things were performed by Hezekiah.
By the Sword, not of any Man, either mean or mighty, but of an Angel.
From, or for fear of, that Plague which so strangely and suddenly destroyed his Army.
Heb. his choice young men, his Guards, and valiant Commanders and Souldiers.
e Heb. shall melt away, a great part of them being Destroyed by the Angel; and the Hearts of the rest melting for fear.
