the town is filled with revelry. 1
Your slain were not cut down by the sword;
they did not die in battle. 2
[22:2] 1 tn Heb “the boisterous town.” The phrase is parallel to “the noisy city” in the preceding line.
[22:2] 2 sn Apparently they died from starvation during the siege that preceded the final conquest of the city. See J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:409.
