Footnotes

  1. 28:21 Mount Perazim…Valley of Gibeon: where David defeated the Philistines; cf. 2 Sm 5:20, 25; 1 Chr 14:11, 16. God’s new work will be strange, because instead of fighting for Judah as the Lord did in David’s time, God will now fight against Jerusalem (see 29:1–4).

21 The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,(A)
    he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon(B)
to do his work,(C) his strange work,
    and perform his task, his alien task.
