2 Kings - 23:29 Meaning

King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
23:25-30 Upon reading these verses, we must say, Lord, though thy righteousness be as the great mountains, evident, plainly to be seen, and past dispute; yet thy judgments are a great deep, unfathomable, and past finding out. The reforming king is cut off in the midst of his usefulness, in mercy to him, that he might not see the evil coming upon his kingdom: but in wrath to his people, for his death was an inlet to their desolations.
“That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.”
