isaiah 22:3 All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, which have fled from far. - Free Bible Online

isaiah 22:3 All your rulers have fled together, [And] have been captured without the bow; All of you who were found were taken captive together, Though they had fled far away.


      3. rulers--rather, "generals" (Jos 10:24; Jud 11:6, 11).
      bound--rather, "are taken."
      by the archers--literally, "by the bow"; so Isa 21:17. Bowmen were the light troops, whose province it was to skirmish in front and (2Ki 6:22) pursue fugitives (2Ki 25:5); this verse applies better to the attack of Nebuchadnezzar than that of Sennacherib.
      all . . . in thee--all found in the city (Isa 13:15), not merely the "rulers" or generals.
      fled from far--those who had fled from distant parts to Jerusalem as a place of safety; rather, fled afar.
