Isaiah 28:6

And for a spirit of judgment... — The words remind us of the list of spiritual gifts in Isaiah 11:2. The injustice of corrupt judges was the crying evil of both Samaria and Jerusalem, and their place was to be taken by those who should be just and faithful. And brave warriors, able to drive back the enemy to the gate of the city from which they had issued forth (2 Samuel 11:23) — or, perhaps, to defeat them at the gate of that which they attacked — should be the companions of the upright judges.
