John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 12:14

"And I will scatter toward every wind all that are round about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them." — Ezekiel 12:14 (ASV)

And I will scatter to every wind all that [are] about him to
help him Either his bodyguards, the men of war that were with him when he fled, (Jeremiah 52:7); or his auxiliary troops, the Egyptians, whom he had taken into his pay for his assistance: and all his bands : or "wings" ^F23; the wings of his army. The Targum interprets it his army; these were all scattered from him when he was taken, (Jeremiah 52:8); and I will draw out the sword after them : which fled into Egypt, and other countries; so that they did not escape, though they went not into captivity; see (Ezekiel 5:12).
