For thus saith the Lord God, I will bring up a company upon them, &c.] Or, “do thou bring up a company upon them”f368, or “against them”. The Targum represents it as spoken to the prophet, thus, “prophesy that armies shall come up against them.” Kimchi interprets it as we do, “I will bring up”, &c. and so othersf369. By this “company” is to be understood the Chaldean army, whom God in his providence, and in righteous judgment, would bring up against the Jews; styled a “convocation”f370, assembly or congregation, in allusion to the sanhedrim, or court of judicature, that took cognizance of such crimes, and judged and condemned for them: and will give them to be removed and spoiled; or, “for a removing”, and a “spoil”f371; that is, he would give the Jews into the hands of the Chaldean army; their persons to be carried captive into other lands, and their substance to be spoiled and plundered.
