Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Isaiah 10:11

Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

11. But Samaria has fallen, her idols have not saved her; how then can Jerusalem escape, who trusts in the same deity? Samaria and her idols ( nonentities) Jerusalem and her idols ( images).

I shall certainly do it, and neither God nor man can hinder me.

Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria, and her idols,…. Kimchi observes, that what is said in the preceding verses was said before Samaria was taken, but this after it was taken:

so do to Jerusalem, and her idols; he had taken Samaria, and carried the ten tribes captive, and now his eye was upon Judah and Jerusalem; and such was his insolence, impiety, and blasphemy, that he reckons the true God, whom the Jews worshipped, among the idols of the Gentiles, and upon a level with them, if not inferior to them, especially to his own idol, and thought himself superior to him.

(11) Shall I not, as I have done . . .The verse gives the occasion of Isaiahs utterance. Sargon was threatening Jerusalem, probably in the early years of Hezekiahs reign. The inscriptions show, as Isa. 20:1 also does, that he made war against Philistia and besieged Ashdod (Records of the Past, vii. 40).

Isa 10:11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

Ver. 11. Shall I not as I have done. ] God is not in all this man’s thoughts; himself doeth all that is done.

So do to Jerusalem. ] Why, no; for “their rock is not as our rock,” might God’s people have replied., “our enemies themselves being judges.” Vere magnus est Deus Christianorum, said a certain pagan truly. The God of the Christians is a great God above all gods. But the devil doeth all he can to drive us to despair.
