Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 16:5

"And a throne shall be established in lovingkindness; and one shall sit thereon in truth, in the tent of David, judging, and seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness." — Isaiah 16:5 (ASV)

And in mercy shall the throne ... —Better, less definitely, in mercy shall a throne be established, and one shall sit upon it in truth. The prophet has in mind the ideal king of Isaiah 9:4-7; Isaiah 11:1–5 (of whom Hezekiah was a partial type and representative), whom he expected after the downfall of the Assyrian oppressor. For the tabernacle of David, compare to Amos 9:11.
