A Nail in a Sure Place
Commentators explain that the 'nail' in this verse was not a small pin but a large, strong spike or peg built directly into a house's stone wall. It was permanent and designed to hold heavy, valuable items. This powerful image illustrates that the authority God gives to his chosen leader, Eliakim, is stable, secure, and completely reliable because it is established by God himself.
