John Trapp on Zephaniah 2:7

Verſe 7. And the coaſt ſhall be for the remnant of the houſe of Iudah] Who had not onely their owne countrey kept empty for them all the 70. yeers of captivity, and not any diſplaced to make room at their return, (ſee the Note on Zach. 7.14.) but liberty to make uſe of the Philiſtines countrey: which was alſo further ſubdued by the Maccabees, but eſpecially by the Apoſtles, who preached the Goſpel, and planted Churches in thoſe parts, as we read in the Acts chap. 8.26, 40. and chap. 9.32, 35, 36.

they ſhall feed thereupon] They ſhall go in and out, and find paſture, under the great Shepherd and Biſhop of their ſouls, who ſhall feed them daily,Joh. 10. 1 Pet. 4. and daintily among the lillies by the powerfull preaching of the Goſpel among them.

In the houſes of Aſhkelon ſhall they lie down in the evening] Ʋbi temporis circumſtantia ſecuritatem notat, ſaith Gualther, The circumſtance of time noteth their ſpirituall ſecurity: evenings are oft dark and dangerous. They ſhall lie down as cattle do, that take no care; they know whom they have truſted, and are fearleſſe.

for the Lord their God ſhall viſit them] Viſit and redeem his people, raiſing up an horn of ſalvation for them, Luke 1.68, 69. His viſits are not empty viſits, Pſal. 8.5. his favours are not like the winter-Sun, that lighteth, but heateth not, &c.

and turn away their captivity] to their unexpreſſible comfort, Pſal. 126.1. but eſpecially when Chriſt aſcending up on high leadeth captivity captive, &c. Col. 2.14, 15. Epheſ. 4.8.
