For thus saith the Lord God, I will bring up a company upon them,.... Or, "do thou bring up a company upon them" , or "against them". The Targum represents it as spoken to the prophet, thus,"prophesy that armies shall come up against them.'
'Kimchi interprets it as we do, "I will bring up", &c. and so others . By this "company" is to be understood the Chaldean army, whom God in his providence, and in righteous judgment, would bring up against the Jews; styled a "convocation" , assembly or congregation, in allusion to the sanhedrim, or court of judicature, that took cognizance of such crimes, and judged and condemned for them:and will give them to be removed and spoiled; or, "for a removing", and a "spoil" ; that is, he would give the Jews into the hands of the Chaldean army; their persons to be carried captive into other lands, and their substance to be spoiled and plundered.
