Isaiah 14:25

“That I will break the Assyrian in my land, &c.] This was his thought, counsel, purpose, and decree; which must be understood either of the king of Babylon, as before, called the Assyrian; as the king of Babylon seems to be called the king of Assyria in (<143311>2 Chronicles 33:11 <160932> Nehemiah 9:32), but then his destruction was not in the land of Israel, or on the mountains of Judea, as is here predicted; or rather, therefore, this is a new prophecy, or a return to what is foretold in the tenth chapter (<231001>Isaiah 10:1-34) concerning Sennacherib and his army, and the destruction of it; which, coming to pass long before the destruction of Babylon, is mentioned for the comfort of…”

“That--My purpose, namely, "that." break . . . yoke-- (Isa 10:27). my mountains--Sennacherib's army was destroyed on the mountains near Jerusalem (Isa 10:33-34). God regarded Judah as peculiarly His.”

“That I will break - That I will break his power; that I will discomfit and destroy his army. The Assyrian - Sennacherib (see Isaiah 10:0.) In my land - That is, in the land of Canaan. This is often called his land; and this expression shows that the passage does not and cannot refer to the king of Babylon, for he was destroyed in his own city Daniel 5:0) And upon my mountains - That is, upon the mountains of Palestine. The army of Sennacherib was destroyed on the mountains that were near to Jerusalem (see the notes at Isaiah 10:33-34). Then shall his yoke - The yoke of the Assyrian (see the note at Isaiah 10:27). return to 'Top of Page'”

“My land - In Judea, which is my land in a peculiar manner. Mountains - In my mountainous country, for such Judea was, especially about Jerusalem. Isaiah 14:26”

“14:25 This prophecy told what would happen when Sennacherib attacked Hezekiah some years later in 701 BC (see chs 36–37).”
