Ezekiel 32:28 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 32:28

Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised,
&c.] Kimchi, and so others, think this is said to Pharaoh king of Egypt; but rather it respects the prince of the Scythians, who should fall into the hands of Heathens, and be destroyed by them: and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword;
be buried with them, or in like manner as they are; and not as mighty warriors, who die a natural death in their own country, and are buried in a stately and magnificent manner; but like those that fall by the sword of the enemy, and are thrown into one common pit.
