[1063]חשב, to think, plan, has much the same meaning as here in Isa. xiii. 17, xxxiii. 8, liii. 3.
[1064] Heb. when I am doing; but in the sense in which the word is used of Jehovah’s decisive and final doing, Psalms xx., xxxii., etc.
[1065] Hab. i. 8.
[1066] See note to Amos vi. 4: Vol. I., p. 174, n. 326.
[1067] Or dust.
[1068] See above, Chap. XIII.
[1069] See Vol. I. The Assyria of “Zech.” x. 11 is Syria. See below.
[1070] The two exceptions, Nahum and Habakkuk, are not relevant to this question. Their dates are fixed by their references to Assyria and Babylon.
[1071] See Rob. Smith, art. “Joel,” Encyc. Brit.
[1072] So obvious is this alternative that all critics may be said to grant it, except König (Einl.), on whose reasons for placing Joel in the end of the seventh century see below, p. 386, n. 1130. Kessner (Das Zeitalter der Proph. Joel, 1888) deems the date unprovable.
[1073] See The Religion of Israel, Vol. I., pp. 86 f.
[1074]The O.T. and its Contents, p. 105.
[1075]Lex Mosaica, pp. 422, 450.
[1076] See especially Ewald on Joel in his Prophets of the O.T., and Kirkpatrick’s very fair argument in Doctrine of the Prophets, pp. 57 ff.
[1077] On Joel’s picture of the Day of Jehovah Ewald says: “We have it here in its first simple and clear form, nor has it become a subject of ridicule as in Amos.”
[1078] i. 9, 13, 16, ii. 14.
[1079] So Ewald.
[1080] 2 Kings xi. 4–21.
[1081] 1 Kings xiv. 25 f.: cf. Joel iii. 17b, 19.
[1082] 2 Kings viii. 20–22: cf. Joel iii. 19.
[1083] 2 Chron. xxi. 16, 17, xxii. 1: cf. Joel iii. 4–6.
[1084] Amos i.: cf. Joel iii. 4–6.
[1085] 2 Chron. xx., especially 26: cf. Joel iii. 2.
[1086] Joel iii. (Eng.; iv. Heb.) 16; Amos i. 2. For a list of the various periods to which Joel has been assigned by supporters of this early date see Kuenen, § 68.
[1087] The reference of Egypt in iii. 19 to Shishak’s invasion appears particularly weak.
[1088] Cf. Robertson, O. T. and its Contents, 105, and Kirkpatrick’s cautious, though convinced, statement of the reasons for an early date.
[1089] iii. 6 (Heb. iv. 6).

[1097] See Cheyne, Origin of Psalter, xx.; Driver, Introd., in the sixth edition of which, 1897, he supports the late date of Joel more strongly than in the first edition, 1892.
[1098] Wellhausen allowed the theory of the early date of Joel to stand in his edition of Bleek’s Einleitung, but adopts the late date in his own Kleine Propheten.
