Isaiah 22:21 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 22:21

19 So I will drive you out of your office,
And from your position¹ he will pull you down.

20 ‘Then it shall be in that day,
That I will call My servant ^aEliakim the son of Hilkiah;

21 I will clothe him with your robe
And strengthen him with your belt;
I will commit your responsibility into his hand.
He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem
And to the house of Judah.

22 The key of the house of David
I will lay on his ^ashoulder;
So he shall ^bopen, and no one shall shut;
And he shall shut, and no one shall open.

23 I will fasten him as ^aa peg in a secure place,
And he will become a glorious throne to his father’s house.

24 ‘They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the posterity, all vessels of small quantity, from the cups to all the pitchers.
