SCRIPTURE

"Cry aloud with thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! hearken, O Laishah! O thou poor Anathoth!" — Isaiah 10:30 (ASV)

Neigh, O daughter of Gallim. By the word neigh he denotes the howling and cries which will be heard at a distance. It is very common, in the Hebrew language, to call cities daughters. He says that the howling will be so great that it will be heard even by the neighboring cities; for at Laish will be heard the groanings which will be uttered in Anathoth.
