Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 21. - The ornaments. Literally, little moons, crescent-shaped ornaments of gold and silver, which as well as "chains" (ver. 26) were hung as ornaments on their camels' necks (cf. Judges 5:30). It would seem from ver. 26 that the kings themselves also wore these ornaments; and in Isaiah 3:18 they are enumerated among the articles of female attire - round tires like the moon, A.V. CHAPTER 8:22-35

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(21) Rise thou, and fall upon us.--They deprecated the pain and shame of falling by the irresolute hands of a boy.For as the man . . . his strength.--Deuteronomy 33:25. "As thy days, so shall thy strength be."Ornaments.--Saharonim, "little moons," crescent-shaped ornaments of gold and silver, still in common use to decorate animals. Isaiah 3:18, "round tires like the moon." "Niveo lunata monilia dente" (Stat. Theb. ix. 689). After one of his battles Mohammed found a slain camel adorned with these lunul? and with strings of emeralds. The Roman senators (for another reason) wore silver crescents on their shoes.
