 Captive: Attic of the Facade of the Louvre (detail) - (c. 1550) Pierre Lescot (c. 1510 - 1578) In collaboration with Renaissance artists Paolo Ponzio Trebatti (fl., 1535-1562) and Jean Goujon (c. 1510 - after 1572) French Renaissance Style Palais du Louvre, Paris, France Image Source: Web Gallery of Art [ Illustration: Today's image depicts the type of captivity (naked and barefoot) which awaited Egypt and Ethiopia. ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Isaiah 20, the LORD commands Isaiah to walk naked and barefoot for three years as a sign to Egypt and Ethiopia that they would go naked and barefoot into captivity to Assyria. This prophecy refers to Ashdod's revolt from Assyria in 713-711 B.C. "The Philistine city revolted at the instigation of King Azuri, perhaps with the expectation of Egyptian support. The Assyrian Annals charge him with refusing to pay tribute and fomenting rebellion among is neighbors. The Assyrian emperor Sargon II [722-705 B.C.] responded with a swift campaign that quickly suppressed any hopes for independence. He placed Azuri's younger brother, Ahimeti [Ahimiti], on the throne [c. 712 B.C.], who in turn was almost immediately deposed by a usurper named Yamani. Sargon sent another expedition in 712, and Yamani fled to Egypt. An Assyrian commissioner was then appointed to manage Ashdod for the empire. ... [When Yamani arrived in Egypt,] the people there refused to harbor him or give him any further military aid. Yamani then attempted to gain help from the Nubian dynast Shabaka. This was to no avail; Shabaka was more interested in conquering the Delta kingdoms and did not want to raise Assyrian ire. Thus Yamani was delivered to the Assyrians in chains as a peace offering."

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

Comments by Isaiah on the Woes & Burdens of Ethiopia and Egypt (20:1-6)
a. Fulfillment Begins: Sargon of Assyria Captures Ashdod of the Philistines (20:1) 1 In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon [Sargon II] the king of Assyria [Neo-Assyria] sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it; b. Sign: Isaiah's Nakedness Portends Nakedness & Captivity for Egypt & Ethiopia (20:2-6) 2 At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. 3 And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia; 4 So shall the king of Assyria lead away [this] the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. 5 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory. 6 And the inhabitant of this isle [(dry) land, island, shore, coastland, country] shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from [from the face of] the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?
