Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 37:37

(37) So Sennacherib . . .—We have to remember that the Assyrian king had been engaged in the siege of Libnah, probably also in an Egyptian expedition, which from some cause or other was unsuccessful. The course of events was probably this: that in Egypt he heard of the ravages of the pestilence, returned to find his army too weak to fight, and then, abandoning all further action in the south, withdrew to Nineveh.Departed, and went and returned.—We are reminded by the three synonyms of the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 37:1-38

CHAPTER XXVIHAD ISAIAH A GOSPEL FOR THE INDIVIDUAL?THE two narratives, in which Isaiah’s career culminates-that of the Deliverance of Jerusalem {Isaiah 36:1-22; Isaiah 37:1-38} and that of the Recovery of Hezekiah {Isaiah 38:1-22; Isaiah 39:1-8}-cannot fail, coming together as they do, to suggest to thoughtful readers a striking contrast between Isaiah’s treatment of the community and his treatment of the individual, between his treatment of the Church and his treatment of single members. For... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 37:1-38

HISTORICAL PARENTHESIS These chapters are a dividing line between what may be called Parts 1 and 2 of this book. They deal with Hezekiah’s reign whose history has been considered in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles. The chapters are not arranged chronologically, as the event of chapter 38, Hezekiah’s sickness and recovery, occurred prior to the siege of Sennacherib (chaps. 36-37). The prophecies preceding these chapters predict the rise of the Assyrian power as the enemy of Judah and God’s rod of... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 37:1-38

The Distress of Hezekiah Isaiah 37:0 The first picture that strikes us in this chapter is that of a panic-stricken king. When Hezekiah heard the messages from Assyria he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord. The king and his ministers all clothed themselves in the penitential sackcloth of mourners. Hezekiah was probably weak in body, and therefore had lost true courage of soul. None knew better than he the overwhelming resources of Assyria,... read more

6. THE DELIVERANCE.Isaiah 37:36-3836Then the angel of the Lord went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. 37So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. 38And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 37:33-38

Isaiah THE TRIUMPH OF FAITH Isa_37:14 - Isa_37:21 , Isa_37:33 - Isa_37:38 . Is trust in Jehovah folly or wisdom? That was the question raised by Sennacherib’s invasion. A glance at the preceding chapters will show how the high military official, ‘the rabshakeh,’ or chief of the officers, shaped all his insolent and yet skilful mixture of threats and promises so as to demonstrate the vanity of trust in Egypt or in Jehovah, or in any but ‘the great king.’ Isaiah had been labouring to lift his... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 37:1-38

Penitently, went Hezekiah immediately into the house of the Lord, while he sent messengers to Isaiah. The prophet sent them back with words of encouragement, declaring that God would deliver them. In the meantime Rabshakeh returned to the king in Assyria, and a letter was dispatched to Hezekiah warning him against being deceived by God. This letter he spread before the Lord, and prayed to Him for deliverance. His prayer was characterized by a great simplicity. It was the simplicity of faith... read more
