The People shall be gathered against them.
That is,1 I will chastise them after this way, By gathering of people against them. The Assyrians when they gathered against them, they did it merely out of their own ends. Yea, but saith God, I have an hand in it, I will gather them against them. And certainly God had a mind to chastise them, when he would gather enemies against them, the Assyrians it's like would never have dared to presume to come against Israel if God had not had an hand in it: And certainly we could never have imagined that it were possible that so many should be gathered together in this Public Cause in this Land to maintain wickedness, and to fight to make themselves slaves, but only that God had a mind to chastise England.
