6 Old enemies Elam and Kir arrive armed to the teeth - weapons and chariots and cavalry.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 22:6

Commentary on Isaiah 22:1-7

(Read Isaiah 22:1-7)

Why is Jerusalem in such terror? Her slain men are not slain with the sword, but with famine; or, slain with fear, disheartened. Their rulers fled, but were overtaken. The servants of God, who foresee and warn sinners of coming miseries, are affected by the prospect. But all the horrors of a city taken by storm, faintly shadow forth the terrors of the day of wrath.
