"Asshur is there and all her company; her graves are round about her; all of them slain, fallen by the sword;" — Ezekiel 32:22 (ASV)
Asshur is there.— In the previous verses we have had a general picture of the fallen nations waiting to receive Egypt as their companion; in Ezekiel 32:22-30 there follows an enumeration of the most prominent of them, with a few words about each. Some of them were not yet fallen; but in this prophetic view it is their ultimate condition which rises to the prophet’s mind. All worldly power that opposes itself to God must go down and share the judgment soon to fall on Egypt.
His graves are about him.— The graves of the people are around those of their monarch. All are fallen together into one common ruin.
