Isaías 10:8 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 10:8

For he saith, [are] not my princes altogether kings?
] Meaning either the kings which he had conquered, which were become his princes and subjects; or rather, such were the greatness and glory of his nobles, that they were equal in their riches and dominions to kings, and so were able to furnish him with men and money for such an expedition he had in his heart to undertake, even to conquer and subdue all the nations of the earth: and this he said either to his people, boasting of his grandeur; or in his heart, as Kimchi observes, to encourage himself; or rather more openly before others, in order to discourage and inject terror into the nations he meant to destroy, and particularly the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Isaías 10:8 In-Context

6 Envío a Asiria contra una nación pagana;
contra un pueblo con el cual estoy enojado.
Asiria los saqueará,
y los pisoteará como a polvo debajo de sus pies.

7 Pero el rey de Asiria no comprenderá que es mi instrumento;
su mente no funciona de esa forma.
Su plan solo consiste en destruir;
en aplastar a las naciones, una tras otra.

8 Dirá:
“Pronto cada uno de mis príncipes será un rey.

9 Hemos destruido a Calno como hicimos antes con Carquemis.
Hamat cayó ante nosotros como antes había caído Arfad,
y destruimos a Samaria como lo hicimos con Damasco.

10 Sí, hemos acabado con muchos reinos
cuyos dioses eran más grandes que los de Jerusalén y de Samaria.
