Jeremiah 50:22 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:22

A sound of battle [is] in the land
In the land of the Chaldeans, as it is expressed in the Septuagint and Arabic versions; the noise of warriors, the clashing of arms, and sound of trumpets, both of the enemy entered into the land, and of the Chaldeans arming themselves in their own defence: and of great destruction;
in the same land; or in Babylon, as Abarbinel supplies it; this is the consequent of the former.
