Exegesis
Hiphil perfect verbs ʿōrēr {עוֹרֵר | ʿōrēr} and hēqīm {הֵקִים | hēqīm} then sequentially “arouse” departed spirits rǝp̄āʾīm {רְפָאִים | rǝp̄āʾīm} and “raise” from mikkisʾōṯām {מִכִּסְאוֹתָם | mikkisʾōṯām} “their thrones” the malkēy gōyīm {מַלְכֵי גּוֹיִם | malkēy gōyīm}. The parallel clauses and semicolon structure in English mirror the Hebrew poetic parallelism and maintain the dramatic procession of summoned rulers.
In context — Isaiah 14:9
Sheol beneath quivered on your account, to greet you at your arrival; it roused for you the departed spirits , all the chiefs of the earth, and lifted from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
