Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Kings 19:24

2 Kings 19:24. I have digged and drunk strange waters That is, says Vitringa, “I have hitherto possessed all my desires; whatever I have vehemently thirsted after, I have attained.” Others understand this and the following clause more literally, thus: “I have marched through deserts, where it was expected my army would have perished with thirst; and yet even there have I digged and found water: and I have rendered rivers fordable by turning their streams from their ancient beds, and have... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 19:1-37

Freed from Assyrian power (18:13-19:37)When news reached Hezekiah that the Assyrian army, under the new king Sennacherib, was heading for Jerusalem, he quickly prepared the defences of the city. He also cut off any water supply outside the city that might be of help to the besieging armies. Above all, he encouraged his troops to trust in God for victory (13; 2 Chronicles 32:1-8). But, on seeing the strength of the siege, Hezekiah began to repent of his rebellion and offered to pay whatever... read more

CHAP. XIX. Hezekiah, mourning, sendeth to Isaiah to pray for him; he comforteth him: Sennacherib sendeth a blasphemous letter to Hezekiah; Hezekiah's prayer. An angel slayeth the Assyrians: Sennacherib is slain by his own sons.* Before Christ 710. * See the Annotations and Reflections on Isaiah, ch. 37 where this chapter is repeated nearly word for word. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Kings 19:20-37

5. Yahweh’s answer 19:20-37God sent Hezekiah the news of what He would do, and why, through Isaiah. The "virgin" daughter of Zion (2 Kings 19:21) refers to Jerusalem as a city that a foreign foe had never violated. The "Holy One of Israel" (2 Kings 19:22), a favorite name of God with Isaiah (cf. Isaiah 5:24; Isaiah 30:11-15; et al.), stresses His uniqueness and superiority. On some monuments Assyrian conquerors pictured themselves as leading their captives with a line that passed through rings... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 19:1-37

The Deliverance of Jerusalem2. Isaiah the prophet] This is the first mention of Isaiah in this book, but his own writings show that he had been an active teacher and statesman not only during the earlier years of Hezekiah himself, but also during the reign of Hezekiah’s predecessor Ahaz: see on 2 Kings 16:7; 2 Kings 18:7. The chapters in the prophet’s writings which relate to the present occasion are 2 Kings 10:5 to 2 Kings 12:6; 2 Kings 14:24-27; 2 Kings 17:12-14, 2 Kings 17:22, 2 Kings... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Kings 19:24

(24) I have digged and drunk strange waters.—Scarcity of water has hitherto been no bar to my advance. In foreign and hostile lands, where the fountains and cisterns have been stopped and covered in (2 Chronicles 32:3), I have digged new wells.And with the sole . . . places.—Rather, and I will dry up with the sole of my feet all the Nile arms of Mâçôr—i.e., Lower Egypt. (Comp. Isaiah 19:5 seq.) Neither mountains nor rivers avail to stop my progress. As the style is poetical, perhaps it would be... read more

Hezekiah 2 Kings 19:1 I. Hezekiah was a type of Christ. In what way? Look, first, at the destruction of the brazen serpent, as told us in this morning's lesson. Try to realize all that it meant. It requires strong, brave men to do the thing, for this serpent had a wonderful history and sacred association. For many generations it had been one of the objects which most stirred the hearts of the Jews. But it had lost its power completely; it had become an object of superstitious worship, and so... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 19:1-37

GOD'S ANSWER THROUGH ISAIAH (vv.1-7) Hezekiah, when he heard the report, showed the same humble attitude as his three servants had. He tore his cloches and put on sackcloth, the symbol of repentance and self-judgment. This was negative, but he also cook the positive action of going into the house of the Lord. There he would find positive help. No doubt it was through the Lord's guidance that he sent Eliakim and Shebna and the elders of Israel to Isaiah the prophet. The message they brought... read more
