20. A remnant of Israel shall be saved
23. Judah is comforted with promise of deliverance from Assyria














Cry aloud
The phrase "Cry aloud" is a call to express deep distress and urgency. In the Hebrew context, the word used here is often associated with a loud, public outcry, typically in response to impending danger or calamity. This reflects the seriousness of the situation facing the people. Historically, such cries were common in times of war or disaster, serving as a communal call to action or repentance.

O Daughter of Gallim
"Daughter of Gallim" refers to the inhabitants of Gallim, a small town in the tribal territory of Benjamin. The term "daughter" is often used in the Hebrew Bible to personify cities or towns, emphasizing their vulnerability and need for protection. Gallim's mention here highlights its proximity to the advancing Assyrian army, underscoring the threat faced by even the smaller, less fortified locations.

Listen
The command "Listen" is a directive to pay attention and heed the warning being given. In the Hebrew tradition, listening is not merely about hearing sounds but involves understanding and responding appropriately. This call to listen is a plea for awareness and readiness in the face of impending judgment.

O Laishah
Laishah is another location mentioned in this passage, likely a village or settlement near Gallim. The inclusion of Laishah serves to broaden the scope of the warning, indicating that the threat is widespread and not limited to a single area. It emphasizes the comprehensive nature of the Assyrian invasion.

O wretched Anathoth
"O wretched Anathoth" conveys a sense of pity and foreboding for Anathoth, a town known for being the birthplace of the prophet Jeremiah. The term "wretched" suggests a state of misery or impending doom. Anathoth's mention here is significant, as it was a Levitical city, highlighting that even places of religious importance were not exempt from the consequences of national disobedience.

Verse 30. - Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim. Gallim and Laish must have been villages between Geba and Jerusalem; but it is impossible to fix their site. Anathoth (now Aaata) obtains mention in Joshua as a city of refuge in the territory of Benjamin (Joshua 21:18). It was Jeremiah's birthplace (Jeremiah 1:1). Gallim was the birthplace of the man who became the second husband of Michal, Saul's daughter. Laish is not elsewhere mentioned. Cause it to be heard unto Laish; rather, hearken, O Laisha.
