Clarke's Ezekiel 30:22 Bible Commentary
I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand - When the arm is broken, the sword will naturally fall. But these expressions show that the Egyptians would be rendered wholly useless to Zedekiah, and should never more recover their political strength. This was the case from the time of the rebellion of Amasis.
Barnes's Ezekiel 30:22 Bible Commentary
The strong - Such power as Egypt yet retained at home and abroad.
That which was broken - The power which Egypt aimed at ineffectually, the conquest of Palestine and Syria.
Wesley's Ezekiel 30:22 Bible Commentary
30:22 His arms - Both his arms. The strong - That part of his kingdom which remains entire. Broken - That which was shattered before.
