Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
For clothing "For his clothing" - tilbosheth . "I cannot but think that this word, tilbosheth , is an interpolation.
1.It is in no one ancient version.
2.It is redundant in the sense, as it is before expressed in bigdey .
3.It makes the hemistich just so much longer than it ought to be, if it is compared with the others adjoining.
4.It makes a form of construction in this clause less elegant than that in the others.
5.It might probably be in some margin a various reading for bigdey , and thence taken into the text.
This is more probable, as its form is such as it would be if it were in regimine , as it must be before nakam ." - Dr. Jubb. Two sorts of armor are mentioned: a breast-plate and a helmet, to bring righteousness and salvation to those who fear him; and the garments of vengeance and the cloak of zeal for the destruction of all those who finally oppose him, and reject his Gospel.
