What does Ezekiel 16:40 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Ezekiel 16:40
They shall also bring up a company against thee
An army, so the Targum; the Chaldean army: and they shall
stone thee with stones:
cast out of their engines and slings, by which they battered the
walls, as well as killed the inhabitants; and so the Targum
renders it, with sling stones; the allusion is to the stoning of
adulterous persons, ( Deuteronomy
22:24 ) ( John 8:5 ) ; and
thrust thee through with their swords;
such as attempted to escape out of the city, or fell into the
hands of the enemy when it was taken, were slain with the sword.
