Adam Clarke
Reserved against the time of trouble - leeth tsar , "to the season of strictness," i.e., the season when the earth is constringed or bound by the frost.
Against the day of battle and war? - Hailstones being often employed as instruments of God' s displeasure against his enemies, and the enemies of his people. There is probably an allusion here to the plague of hail sent on the Egyptians. See Exodus 9:23 (note), and the notes there, for more particulars concerning hailstones, remarkable showers of them, etc. There may be also a reference to Joshua 10:10-11 (note), where a destructive shower of what are called hailstones fell upon the Canaanitish kings who fought against Israel. See the note there also.
