Edom—It was subjugated by David, but revolted under Jehoram (II Chronicles 21:8-10); and at every subsequent opportunity tried to injure Judah. Egypt under Shishak spoiled Jerusalem under Rehoboam of the treasures of the temple and the king's house; subsequently to the captivity, it inflicted under the Ptolemies various injuries on Judea. Antiochus spoiled Egypt (Daniel 11:40-43). Edom was made "desolate" under the Maccabees [JOSEPHUS, Antiquities, 12.11,12]. The low condition of the two countries for centuries proves the truth of the prediction (compare Isaiah 19:1, etc.; Jeremiah 49:17; Obadiah 1:10). So shall fare all the foes of Israel, typified by these two (Isaiah 63:1, etc.).
