Isaiah 41:25

I have raised up one from the north - "That is, "says Kimchi, "the Messiah. The king of Assyria placed the ten tribes in Chalach and Chabar by the river Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes, 2 Kings 17:6 , which lands lie northerly and easterly."

He shall come upon princes "He shall trample on princes" - For יבא yabo , Le Clerc reads יבס yebes , from the Chaldee, who seems to read both words. "Forte legend. ויבס vaiyebes vel וירמס vaiyirmos : sequitur ס ." "This should perhaps be read ויבס vaiyebes , or וירמס vaiyirmos : a ס samech follows." - Secker. See Nahum 3:14 .
