"and upon every lofty tower, and upon every fortified wall," — Isaiah 2:15 (ASV)
Upon every high tower. —Generic as the words are, they have a special reference to the fortifications which were the glory of Uzziah’s reign, and were continued by his successors (2 Chronicles 26:9–10; 2 Chronicles 27:3–4; Hosea 8:14; Micah 5:11; compare also Isaiah 22:8-11, Psalms 48:13).
