Context of Isaiah 22:11
9and ye have seen the breaches of the city of David, that they are many; and ye have gathered together the waters of the lower pool; 10and ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and have broken down the houses to fortify the wall; and ye have made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not had regard unto the maker thereof, neither have ye looked unto him that fashioned it long ago. 12And in that day did the Lord Jehovah of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth; 13and behold joy and rejoicing, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: — Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.

Commentaries on Isaiah 22:11
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11Unto the maker thereof "To him that hath disposed this" - That is, to God the Author and Disposer of this visitation, the invasion with which he now threatens you. The very same expressions are applied to God, and upon the same occasion, Isaiah 37:26; : - "Hast thou not heard of old, that I have disposed it; And of ancient times, that I have formed it?"Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11Ye made also a ditch - That is, they made a “reservoir” to retain the water. The word ditch,‘ however, will well describe the character of the pool of Gihon on the west side of the city (see the notes at Isaiah 7:3). Between the two walls for the water of the old pool - Hezekiah built one of these walls himself (2 Chronicles 32:5, 2 Chronicles 32:30; compare 2 Kings 25:5, and Jeremiah 39:4). Between these two walls the water would be collected so as to be…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 8-14Verses 8-14 The weakness of Judah now appeared more than ever. Now also they discovered their carnal confidence and their carnal security. They looked to the fortifications. They made sure of water for the city. But they were regardless of God in all these preparations. They did not care for his glory in what they did. They did not depend upon him for a blessing on their endeavours. For every creature is to us what God makes it to be; and we must bless…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 8-11The people of Jerusalem prepared for war. They counted their weapons, inspected the city walls, and made sure they had enough water. However, they did not think about God’s plans (see Isaiah 13:1–14:23). They focused on their own efforts instead of seeking the Lord. King Hezekiah played an important role in these preparations. However, the verbs in this passage are plural. Isaiah was speaking to the people as a group, not only to Hezekiah. This is…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1111. Ye made ... a ditch--rather, "Ye shall make a reservoir" for receiving the water. Hezekiah surrounded Siloah, from which the old (or king's, or upper) pool took its rise, with a wall joined to the wall of Zion on both sides; between these two walls he made a new pool, into which he directed the waters of the former, thus cutting off the foe from his supply of water also. The opening from which the upper pool received its water was nearer Zion than the…Read the comment
