Wesley: Eze 39:2 - -- I will leave in thy country but one in six.

I will leave in thy country but one in six.

JFB: Eze 39:2 - -- Margin, "strike thee with six plagues" (namely, pestilence, blood, overflowing rain, hailstones, fire, brimstone, Eze 38:22); or, "draw thee back with...

Margin, "strike thee with six plagues" (namely, pestilence, blood, overflowing rain, hailstones, fire, brimstone, Eze 38:22); or, "draw thee back with an hook of six teeth" (Eze 38:4), the six teeth being those six plagues. Rather, "lead thee about" [LUDOVICUS DE DIEU and Septuagint]. As Antiochus was led (to his ruin) to leave Egypt for an expedition against Palestine, so shall the last great enemy of God be.

JFB: Eze 39:2 - -- From the extreme north [FAIRBAIRN].

From the extreme north [FAIRBAIRN].

Clarke: Eze 39:2 - -- And leave but the sixth part of thee - The margin has, strike thee with six plagues; or, draw thee back with a hook of six teeth.

And leave but the sixth part of thee - The margin has, strike thee with six plagues; or, draw thee back with a hook of six teeth.

TSK: Eze 39:2 - -- I will : It is probable that none of the invaders will escape, but perhaps the inhabitants of Magog in general are meant. The immense army of Gog, le...

I will : It is probable that none of the invaders will escape, but perhaps the inhabitants of Magog in general are meant. The immense army of Gog, led forth against Israel, will almost empty his land; and the subsequent judgments of God upon those that remain at home, will reduce them to a sixth of the whole. Psa 40:14, Psa 68:2; Isa 37:29

leave but the sixth part of thee : or, strike thee with six plagues; or, draw thee back with a hook of six teeth, as Eze 38:4. and will cause. Eze 38:15; Dan 11:40

north parts : Heb. sides of the north

Barnes: Eze 39:2 - -- The chief prince - Or, "prince of Rosh." And leave but the sixth part of thee - Or, and lead thee along (Septuagint and Vulgate).

The chief prince - Or, "prince of Rosh."

And leave but the sixth part of thee - Or, and lead thee along (Septuagint and Vulgate).

Poole: Eze 39:2 - -- Turn thee back: see Eze 38:4 : or else, when Gog or his assistants shall go into their countries to compose disorders risen since this enterprise was...

Turn thee back: see Eze 38:4 : or else, when Gog or his assistants shall go into their countries to compose disorders risen since this enterprise was set on foot, they shall return to the rest of the confederates.

Leave but the sixth part of thee: some read, as our margin notes, I will draw thee back with a hook of six teeth, alluding to the drawing fish out of the water; others, I will strike thee with six plagues; others, I will kill five of six, and leave but the sixth part of thee: let me conjecture too, I will leave in thy country but one in six, and I will bring forth thy people with thee in so great numbers, that five of six shall march on this expedition. This runs more compliant with what follows.

Will cause thee to come up by his all wise providence God will dispose things so, that Gog shall deliberately choose this expedition; so God will bring him, as Eze 38:4 . See Eze 38:4,8,15,21 .

Gill: Eze 39:2 - -- And I will turn thee back,.... Not from the land of Israel; for thither it is said in the latter part of the text he would bring him; but the meaning ...

And I will turn thee back,.... Not from the land of Israel; for thither it is said in the latter part of the text he would bring him; but the meaning is, that he would "turn him about", as the word w signifies, in his own land, and lead him about at his pleasure, and bring him out of it, unto the land of Israel; signifying hereby that the providence of God would be greatly concerned in this affair; and in which much glory would be brought unto him by the destruction of such a potent enemy of his people; which is the design of bringing him out; See Gill on Eze 38:4,

and leave but a sixth part of thee; meaning, not that a sixth part only should escape the vengeance of God, and all but a sixth part be destroyed in the land of Israel; for it looks as if the whole army would be utterly destroyed, and none left; but that, when he should come out of his own country upon this expedition, a sixth part of his subjects only should be left behind; five out of six should accompany him; so numerous should his army be, and so drained his country by this enterprise of his. Some render the words, "will draw thee out with an hook of six teeth" x; that is, out of his own land; and this clause stands in the same place and order as the phrase and "put hooks into thy jaws" does in Eze 38:4 and so may be thought to explain one another, and agrees with what follows: for, as for the sense of it given by Joseph Kimchi and others,

"I will judge thee with six judgments y, Eze 38:12, pestilence, blood, an overflowing rain, hailstones, fire, and brimstone,''

it must be rejected; seeing as yet the account of his punishment is not come to; only an account is given how and by what means he shall be drawn out of his own land; wherefore much better is the Targum,

"I will persuade thee, and I will seduce thee;''

so Jarchi seems to understand it: and the Septuagint and Arabic versions render it, "I will lead thee", agreeably to what follows:

and will cause thee to come up from the north parts; See Gill on Eze 38:15.

and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel; not to inherit them, but to fall upon them, as in Eze 39:4.
