In the context of ancient Israel, cities and nations often faced threats from surrounding enemies. The imagery of passersby plundering indicates a lack of protection and defense, reminiscent of the times when Israel was invaded by foreign powers such as the Babylonians or Assyrians. This can be seen as a consequence of turning away from God, as described in <a href="/deuteronomy/28-49.htm">Deuteronomy 28:49-52</a>, where disobedience leads to being overrun by enemies. Theologically, it reflects the consequences of sin and the loss of divine favor, which results in exposure to external threats.<p><b>he has become a reproach to his neighbors.</b><br>Being a reproach to neighbors implies a loss of respect and honor. In the ancient Near Eastern culture, honor and shame were significant social values. A nation or individual becoming a reproach would mean they are looked down upon and ridiculed by those around them. This can be connected to the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where disobedience leads to shame and dishonor, as seen in <a href="/ezekiel/5-14.htm">Ezekiel 5:14-15</a>. Prophetically, this can also be seen as a type of Christ, who was despised and rejected by men (<a href="/isaiah/53-3.htm">Isaiah 53:3</a>), bearing the reproach of humanity. The suffering servant motif in Isaiah highlights how Jesus took on the shame and reproach of others, ultimately leading to redemption.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ethan_the_ezrahite.htm">Ethan the Ezrahite</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/89.htm">Psalm 89</a>, traditionally believed to be a wise man during the time of Solomon, who composed this psalm as a reflection on God's covenant with David and the apparent failure of that promise in light of Israel's suffering.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/d/davidic_covenant.htm">Davidic Covenant</a></b><br>The promise made by God to King David, ensuring that his descendants would rule Israel forever.
