Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Ezekiel 21:28-32

The prophecy here is of Ammon, whom the King of Babylon also subdued as well as Jerusalem. The Lord hath been pleased to intersperse the history of Israel, here and there, with the account of other nations, by way of manifesting the sovereignty of His government, and to prove Himself to be King of Nations as well as King of Saints.
