Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid - He shall be in continual fear of death; being now brought down by adversity, and stripped of all the goods which he had got by oppression, his life is a mark for the meanest assassin.
As a king ready to the battle - The acts of his wickedness and oppression are as numerous as the troops he commands; and when he comes to meet his enemy in the field, he is not only deserted but slain by his troops. How true are the words of the poet: -
Ad generum Cereris sine caede et vulnere pauci
Descendunt reges, et sicca morte tyranni .
Juv. Sat., ver. 112.
"For few usurpers to the shades descend
By a dry death, or with a quiet end."
