Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - All the horn; rather, every horn; i.e. all the means of defence, especially the fortresses. He hath drawn back his right hand; i.e. he hath withdrawn his assistance in war. He burned against; rather, he burned up.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) All the horn of Israel . . .--The horn, as elsewhere (1Samuel 2:1; Psalm 92:10; Psalm 112:9), is the symbol of strength, aggressive or defensive, and may therefore stand here for every element of strength, warriors, rulers, fortresses.He burned against Jacob.--Better, And He kindled a burning; i.e., was as one who applies the torch.
