Ezekiel 21:28

In Ezekiel 21:19,20 you had the mention of Rabbath, chief city of the Ammonites, in equal danger with Jerusalem; but while Jerusalem is threatened, Rabbath is no further minded, till now God directs the prophet to declare the ruin thereof. The Ammonites; a stout, but proud, injurious, and insulting people. Their reproach, wherewith they reproached Israel in the day of Israel's afflictions, as Jeremiah 49:1, and Ezekiel 25:3,5,6, and blasphemed the God of Israel. The sword; all warlike preparations are made against you. The sword is drawn; the war is declared, and your enemy hath drawn the sword: see Ezekiel 21:9. For the slaughter; to make waste, by avenging former quarrels and affronts. The Babylonish king comes out with bloody mind against you, O Ammonites! You countenanced Ishmael, who slew Gedaliah, viceroy by Nebuchadnezzar's appointment, and you would have set Ishmael on the throne; this affront you shall satisfy for with your blood. Because of the glittering: see Ezekiel 21:9,10.
