Isaías 14:18 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:18

All the kings of the nations
Of other nations, besides those he governed, and even of those whom he had subdued, at least their ancestors, the greatest part of them however; for the word "all" does not always signify every individual, though by the repetition of it, it here bids fair for such a sense, there being but very few, or scarce any exceptions to this observation; for, on some account or another, both good and bad kings are interred in great state: [even] all of them lie in glory;
in rich tombs and stately monuments, erected for the honour of them; and where they "sleep", as the word signifies, with their fathers, their ancestors, and are at rest, in the state of the dead, where they will continue to the resurrection: everyone in his own house;
or grave, see ( Job 30:23 ) the same with his long home, ( Ecclesiastes 12:5 ) or the house of his world: in reference to which, the Targum paraphrases it by the same phrase here; and though their graves were not in their dwelling houses or palaces, yet often near them, and in their own country, and were what had been erected, or caused to be erected by them, in their lifetime.

Isaías 14:18 In-Context

16 Los que te ven te observan, te contemplan, y dicen: "¿Es éste aquel hombre que hacía temblar la tierra, que sacudía los reinos,

17 que puso al mundo como un desierto, que derribó sus ciudades, que a sus prisioneros no abrió la cárcel?"

18 Todos los reyes de las naciones, todos ellos yacen con gloria, cada uno en su sepulcro.

19 Pero tú has sido echado de tu sepulcro como vástago desechado, como ropa de muertos traspasados a espada, que descienden a las piedras de la fosa, como cadáver pisoteado.

20 No estarás unido con ellos en el sepelio, porque has destruido tu tierra, has matado a tu pueblo. Que no se nombre jamás la descendencia de los malhechores.
