Psalms 48:4

For, lo, the kings assembled themselves (R.V.): Sennacherib's vassal kings (Isaiah 10:8) met at their rendezvous (cp. Psalms 2:2): they passed over together; uniting their forces they crossed the frontier and entered the land of Judah. Cp. Isaiah 8:7-8; Isaiah 28:15. The rendering passed away(R.V. marg.) is possible but unsuitable, for (1) assembled themselvesneeds some further explanation, and (2) it interrupts the order of the description: it is not until they have seen Jerusalem (Psalms 48:5) that they disperse in confusion. P.B.V. kings of the earthis from the Vulg. Cp. Psalms 76:12.
