Ezekiel 32:22 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 32:22

Ashur is there, and all her company
In the state of the dead, or in a most desolate and ruinous condition; the great Assyrian monarchy, the kings of it, the princes, nobles, generals, soldiers, and the vast number of subjects in all the dominions of it; all his army, as the Targum; this, with what follows, shows who the mighty are, that should meet and address the king of Egypt at his funeral: his graves are about him;
either the graves of Pharaoh and his multitude are round about the graves of the Assyrian monarch and his subjects, as Kimchi; or rather the graves of his subjects and soldiers are round about him: it seems to represent the king of Assyria as having a more stately monument, and the graves of his people as lesser ones round about him, but all in the same condition: all of them slain, fallen by the sword
of their enemies, the Medes and the Babylonians, by whom the Assyrian monarchy was destroyed.
