BABYLONISH CAPTIVITY THREATENED. 1. At that time Soon after the recovery of Hezekiah; for Merodach-baladan, governor or king of Babylon, had heard that Hezekiah had been sick and was now recovered. Much difficulty exists as to the time of this message. The most natural meaning of the biblical account of the time, is, that it was a short time after the complete rout of Sennacherib’s army. The invasion of Sennacherib was in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah’s reign. Isaiah 36:1. The... read more
2. Showed them the house of his precious things Hezekiah was flattered by an embassy from so great a distance as Babylon: he showed them all he had of treasure, armour, spicery, beaten oil, and all the wealth he had collected at Jerusalem. He had prospered greatly since his sickness, perhaps he had greatly enriched himself from the valuable plunder left in the sudden retreat of the Assyrian army. From numerous resources, at any rate, he was again rich and powerful, and possibly he looked... read more
THREATENING OF THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY OCCASIONED BY HEZEKIAH, Isaiah 39:3-8. 3, 4. Then came Isaiah Who was an ethical terror to ill-doing monarchs and their false flatterers. What said these men The answer elicited did not satisfy the faithful prophet, who saw through the guise of the king’s flattered, perhaps wily, heart. Good as Hezekiah was, prosperity had elated and beguiled him. On the questions being pressed, however, he candidly told all, and submitted meekly to whatever should... read more
5, 6. Hear the word of the Lord The prophet’s soul was surcharged now with a coming of explicit, definite affliction upon his own people. The king’s imprudence was, for the first time, the occasion of such an utterance. Babylon now rises to his view as the next great engulfing power against the nation. Behold, the days come Days of captivity. In one hundred and twenty years they did come. All that is in thine house Which Hezekiah had himself gathered since he was plundered by... read more
7. Of thy sons Descendants. The king was childless till three years after his recovery, when Manasseh was born. “He wept sore,” (chapter Isaiah 38:7,) most probably because he was childless. God gave him a son, but what a son he proved! Shall be eunuchs Household vassals of oriental royalty: a retribution for the sins, not of Hezekiah, most probably, but of Manasseh and later descendants. read more
8. Good is the word of the Lord Noble submission! Hezekiah was the purest and best royal character since King David, and he had his reward, for his own days were ended in peace. This chapter is an appropriate historic close, preparatory to the dying song of the great, but now old, prophet of the glorious Messianic times in the far future. read more
