- Τῇ Δαμασκῷ. Κατῃσχύνθη Θημὰρ καὶ Ἀρφάδ, ὅτι ἤκουσαν ἀκοὴν πονηράν· ἐξέστησαν, ἐθυμώθησαν, ἀναπαύσασθαι οὐ μὴ δύνωνται.

Haydock's commentary
Damascus, the capital of Syria, Isaias vii. 8. (Worthington)
It was punished at the same time as the rest. (Josephus)
Arphad; Arad, an island near Tyre, or Raphanæ. (Theodoret)
Syriac, "Rephad....they are troubled from the sea." Nabuchodonosor left Tyre to invade them. (Calmet)
As in. The islands of the Mediterranean tremble for themselves, and all Syria is afraid, hearing of the fall of so many cities and nations.
