Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - The stout hearted are spoiled. A "vivid description of the catastrophe" now follows. The "stout hearted," the aggressors, the great dominant race, that has spoiled all the nations of the earth, and fears no one (comp. Isaiah 10:12-14, "The stout heart of the King of Assyria"), is itself spoiled in turn. They have slept their sleep. They have slept, and, as they slept (2 Kings 19:35), they found it indeed a sleep, even the sleep of death. And none of the men of might have found their hands. The mighty men, suddenly assaulted by the grim destroyer, Death, can make no resistance; they are paralyzed; they cannot even move a hand.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) Are spoiled.--Literally, have let themselves be spoiled. The picture is of men rendered powerless, at a glance, a word, from God.Slept their sleep.--Better, have sunk into a deep sleep.None of the men of might have found their hands.--This expression for powerlessness naturally grew into an idiom in a language that used the word hand as a synonym for strength. (Comp. Joshua 8:20, margin; Exodus 14:31, margin; Deuteronomy 32:36, margin.) Delitzsch quotes a Talmudic phrase, "We did not find our hands and feet in the school house." We may compare the Virgilian use of manus ('n. 6:688), and Shakespeare's "a proper fellow of my hands," and for the use of "find" compare the common phrase "find one's tongue."
