And I will scatter to every wind all that [are] about him to help him, &c.] Either his bodyguards, the men of war that were with him when he fled, (<245207>Jeremiah 52:7); or his auxiliary troops, the Egyptians, whom he had taken into his pay for his assistance: and all his bands: or “wings”f163; the wings of his army. The Targum interprets it his army; these were all scattered from him when he was taken, (<245208>Jeremiah 52:8); and I will draw out the sword after them: which fled into Egypt, and other countries; so that they did not escape, though they went not into captivity; (see <260512>Ezekiel 5:12).
