A complaint to God of the enemies conspiracies9. A prayer against those who oppress the Church Even Assyria The mention of Assyria in this verse is significant, as it was one of the most powerful empires in the ancient Near East. The Hebrew root for Assyria is "אַשּׁוּר" (Ashur), which not only refers to the nation but also to its chief deity and the city that was its original capital.

This is the climax. Assyria - the great empire - the most important of all the kingdoms of the earth - has joined the petty nations upon Israel's border, and holds a place in the great confederacy. From the historical books it would appear that this occurred but once, viz. in David's great war with the Ammonites and their allies (see the Introduction). They have holpen the children of Lot; i.e. the Moabites and Ammonites (comp. Genesis 19:37, 38; Deuteronomy 2:9, 19). Moab and Ammon would seem to have been the principal powers engaged in the confederacy. The others were their helpers.Parallel Commentaries ...
