イザヤ書 37:33-35 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 37:21-38

We may here observe, 1. That those who receive messages of terror from men with patience, and send messages of faith to God by prayer, may expect messages of grace and peace from God for their comfort, even when they are most cast down. Isaiah sent a long answer to Hezekiah's prayer in God's name, sent it in writing (for it was too long to be sent by word of mouth), and sent it by way of return to his prayer, relation being thereunto had: ?Whereas thou hast prayed to me, know, for thy comfort,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 37:33

Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of Assyria ,.... The issue of his expedition, and the fruitfulness of it; how vain his attempts would be, and how successless in this undertaking: he shall not come into this city ; shall not enter into it, and take possession of it, though so sure of it; or, "shall not come unto it F23 לא יבא אל העיר הזאת "non veniet ad civitatem hanc", Oecolampadius, Musculus, Gataker; "ad urbem hanc": Vitringa.

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 37:34

By the way that he came, by the same shall he return ,.... Without executing his designs on Jerusalem, or other places; he shall lose his labour, and make the best of his way to his own country, without turning to the right or left, in order to disturb other nations, and enlarge his kingdom, being quite dispirited and confounded by what he shall meet with: and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord ; or, unto this city, as before; which is repeated to confirm it, and to show the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 37:35

For I will defend this city to save it ,.... Or, "shield it"; and if God will be the shield and protection of any place or people, they must needs be safe; who can hurt them? For my own sake, and for my servant David's sake ; not for the merits of the inhabitants of it, but for the sake of his own name and glory, who had been blasphemed by the Assyrian monarch, and his general; and for the sake of his servant David, in whose seed he had promised the kingdom should be established; see 2... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 37:33

Therefore , etc. A new clause is commenced—the concluding clause of the prophecy. For Hezekiah's satisfaction and consolation something more definite is needed than the vague assurances that "the daughter of Jerusalem shook her head at Sennacherib" ( Isaiah 37:22 ), and that God would "put a bridle in Sennacherib's mouth" ( Isaiah 37:29 ). Accordingly, it is now declared, in the plainest terms, that he shall not even lay siege to the city, but shall return by the way by which he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 37:34

By the way that he came . It is clear that Sennacherib on this occasion had marched by the usual coast route, through Sharon and the Shefeleh, upon Lachish, leaving Jerusalem far to his left. From Laehish he sent Rabshakeh to Hezekiah with a threatening message, and (as our version has it) " with a great army;" rather, "with a strong force." Rabshakeh, having delivered his message, returned to his master ( Isaiah 37:8 ), doubtless with his escort. Sennacherib then sent a letter by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 37:34

Returning on our way. "By the way that he came, by the same shall he return." I. THE RETURN WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE . Our departure from this world is often spoken of as a return. We "return to the grave." We ascend and descend the hill of life; but we go down that hill on the other side. Old age is indeed "a second childhood;" but how different a childhood it is! —with the experience, and the carefulness, and the sad consciousness of failure which childhood has not , but ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 37:35

I will defend this city … for mine own sake ; literally, I will cover over this city , as a bird covers its young with its wings (comp. Isaiah 31:5 ; Matthew 23:37 ). God would do this "for his own sake;" i.e. because his own honour was concerned in the defence of his people. He would also do it for his servant David's sake; i.e. because of the promises made to David, that his children should sit upon his throne ( 2 Samuel 7:16 ; Psalms 89:29-37 ; Psalms 132:11-14 ,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 37:33

He shall not come into this city - Sennacherib encamped probably on the northeast side of the city, and his army was destroyed there (see the notes at Isaiah 10:28 ff.)Nor shoot an arrow there - That is, nor shoot an arrow within the walls of the city.Nor come before it with shields - (See the note at Isaiah 21:5). The meaning here is, that the army should not be permitted to come before the city defended with shields, and prepared with the means of attack and defense.Nor cast a bank against it... read more
