Albert Barnes Commentary Ezekiel 23:42

"And the voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets upon the hands of them [twain], and beautiful crowns upon their heads." — Ezekiel 23:42 (ASV)

A voice ... - Alternatively, the voice of the tumult was stilled by this. The tumultuous cries of the invading army were stilled by these gifts. Others interpret "being at ease" as “living carelessly.”

Of the common sort - See the margin - a multitudinous crowd.

Sabeans - Better as in the margin. The Chaldeans were noted for their intemperance and revelries.

The wilderness - This refers to the desert tract that the Chaldeans had to cross when traveling from the north of Mesopotamia to the Holy Land.

This verse describes the temporary effects of the alliance of Israel and Judah with the Assyrians and Babylonians. All became quiet; the allies received gifts (such as incense and oil) from Israel and Judah. These gifts, in turn, brought riches to Palestine: bracelets upon their (that is, Aholah’s and Aholibah’s) hands, and crowns upon their heads.
