Rosh: (Ezekiel 38:2,3; 39:1) is rendered "chief" in the Authorized Version. It is
left untranslated as a proper name in the Revised Version. Some have
supposed that the Russians are here meant, as one of the three
Scythian tribes of whom Magog was the prince. They invaded the land
of Judah in the days of Josiah. Herodotus, the Greek historian, says:
"For twenty-eight years the Scythians ruled over Asia, and things
were turned upside down by their violence and contempt."
