* the spirit.
   This is a prophecy of what took place in Egypt about
   twenty-two years after the destruction of Sennacherib's army;
   when, upon the death of Tirhakah, (B.C. 688,) not being able
   to settle about the succession, they continued for two years
   in a state of anarchy, confusion, and civil wars; which was
   followed by the tyranny of twelve princes, who, dividing the
   country among them, governed it for fifteen years; and at
   last, by the sole dominion of Psammiticus, which he held for
   fifty-four years.
