Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
That draw the bow - I much suspect that the words moshechey kesheth , who draw the bow, are a corruption of the word meshek , Moschi, the name of a nation situated between the Euxine and Caspian seas; and properly joined with tubal , the Tibareni. See Bochart, Phaleg. Isaiah 3:12. The Septuagint have , without any thing of the drawers of the bow: the word being once taken for a participle, the bow was added to make sense of it kesheth , the bow, is omitted in a MS. and by the Septuagint.
That have not heard my fame "Who never heard my name" - For shimi , my fame, I read, with the Septuagint and Syriac, shemi , my name.
