They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword, &c.] The Egyptians shall fall in battle by the sword of the Chaldeans: she is delivered to the sword; Egypt is given to the sword, to perish by it, for her sins, according to the just appointment of God: draw her and all her multitudes; to the place of burial; not in pomp and splendour, as great persons are drawn in hearses; but in great disgrace, as carcasses are dragged unto a common pit or grave, and cast into it: this is said to the Chaldeans, who had a commission from the Lord to slay Egypt, and to bury her, and all her people.
