Psalms 68:26

Desolate. Babylon gave place to Susa, and "was reduced to a solitude by the vicinity of Seleucia." (Pliny, [Natural History?] vi. 26.) (Isaias xlvii.) --- But the fall of Jerusalem was more sudden and memorable within 40 years after the death of Christ, Psalm lviii. 7. (Calmet) --- The Jews, and particularly the traitor, lost their country, Acts i. 20. (Berthier) --- He (the traitor) indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity....and burst asunder. (Haydock)
