By breaking the bow, is here meant the blasting and bringing to nothing all the strength of their warlike power, all their Arms and Ammunition, for the bow was a great warlike instrument in these days, therefore in Psal. 46. 9. He makes wars to cease, he breaks the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder, &c.
By breaking the bow, is here meant the blasting and bringing to nothing all the strength of their warlike power, all their Armes and Ammunition, for the bow was a great warlike instrument in these dayes, therefore in Psal. 46. 9. He makes wars to cease, he breaks the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder, &c.
But here, by breaking the bow, there is something more, it is not only mentioned because the bow is a warlike instrument, but there is some particular reason why the bow is instanced here, and that is this, because whereas Jehu did many memorable things in his warlike affairs, yet none more then that he did by his bow. Mark that place, 2 King. 9. 24. And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jeroboam between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, &c. So that the victory that Jehu got ever the two Kings of Israel and Judah, was by the Bow especially. What observe we from hence?
