The "fallen warriors of old" suggests a historical context where warriors were honored in death, often buried with their weapons as a sign of their valor. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, it was common for warriors to be buried with their weapons, symbolizing their strength and status even in death. The Hebrew word for "lie" (שָׁכַב, shakab) often implies rest or repose, indicating that these warriors were given a place of honor in their burial, unlike those being referenced in the current context of the passage. who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war their swords placed under their heads and their shields resting on their bones though the terror of these warriors was once in the land of the living Their iniquities shall be upon their bones--i.e., they shall die in their iniquity. As we say in English, their sins shall be upon their heads. Verse 27. - And they shall not lie with the mighty. The words seem at first to contradict Ver. 26. The LXX. meets the difficulty by omitting the negative; Ewald and Havernick, by taking it as an interrogative, "Shall they not lie," etc.? Probably the explanation is laying stress on the word "mighty." Meshech and Tubal have a lower place in Hades; they are buried without the honors of war. Their swords are not placed beneath their heads (for the practice thus referred to, see Died. Sic., 18:26; Arrian, 1:5; Virg., 'AEn.,' 6:233). For the Scythians, who worshipped the sword (Herod., L 62), this would be the extremest ignominy. In this way their iniquities should be upon their bones as they lay dishonored.Parallel Commentaries ...
