John Trapp on Isaiah 46:1

CHAP. XLVI.

Ver. 1. BEl is bowed down] Jupiter Belus (as Pliny calleth him) Babels chief God, is now become a prey to the Perſians: Lib. 6. c. 26. and might be to them of as great worth as was Nebuchadnezzars maſſy Image of gold dedicated in Dura, Dan. 3.1, 2. This great golden image, ſome think to be the ſame that is here called Nebo or Nebuchadnezzar. Others think it to be Apollo Deus vaticinus. Tremellius rendreth it, the prophecying or oracular God. Jeremy ſeemeth to call him Merodach, chap. 51.1. Dagon the Septuagint render him; but not well.

Your carriages were heavy laden] tam eſtis dii graves.
