Verse 9
A bar is used to defend a house or other place against an un-friendly Intruder. To break the bar of Damascus would therefore mean to overcome the defence of the city and expose it to an enemy. Him that holdeth the scepter means the king, and he was to be cut off from the house of Eden. Smith’s Bible Dictionary ren¬ders this phrase “Beth-Eden," and says it means “house of pleasure,” and that it was probably a country residence of the kings of Damascus. The cap¬tivity unto Kir was fulfilled and the account of it Is in 2 Kings 16: 9.
