2 Kings 21:13

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge · Canne, Browne, Blayney, Scott, and others · Public Domain

I will stretch: This metaphor is taken from the custom of using a line in measuring land, and in dividing portions of it among several persons. Samaria was taken, pillaged, and ruined, and its inhabitants carried into captivity: Jerusalem shall have the same measure. 2 Kings 17:6; Isaiah 10:22, Isaiah 28:17, Isaiah 34:11; Lamentations 2:8; Ezekiel 23:31-34; Amos 7:7-8; Zechariah 1:16

the plummet: 2 Kings 10:11; 1 Kings 21:21-24

I will wipe: I will empty Jerusalem of all its wealth and inhabitants, as truly as a dish turned up and wiped is emptied of its contents. 1 Kings 14:10; Isaiah 14:23; Jeremiah 25:9; Ezekiel 24:10-11; Revelation 18:21-23

wiping it, and turning it upside down: Heb. he wipeth and turneth it upon the face thereof
