Slay all her bullocks, etc.] Or, “all her mighty ones”, as the Targum and Vulgate Latin version; her princes and great men, as Jarchi, Kimchi, and Abarbinel; compared to bullocks for their strength, fatness, and fierceness; (see <192212>Psalm 22:12,13); this may well be applied to the slaughter of kings, captains, and mighty men, at the battle of Armageddon, (<661918>Revelation 19:18); let them go down to the slaughter; to the place slaughter, as oxen do, insensible, and whether they will or not: woe unto them, for their day is come, the time of their visitation; the time of their destruction, of visiting or punishing them for their sins, appointed by the Lord, which they could not pass; and so a woeful and dreadful time to them.
