Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Kings 19:21

2 Kings 19:21. The daughter of Zion That is, Jerusalem; which is called the daughter of Zion, say some, because the hill of Zion, as being the strongest and safest part, was first inhabited, and by the increase of inhabitants, Jerusalem arising around, as it were, sprang from it, and might therefore properly enough be termed its daughter. But it is more probable that the people of Zion, or of Jerusalem, (Zion, an eminent part of the city, being put for the whole,) are here termed its... 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

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 19:21

(21) This is the word . . .—The prophecy which follows is well characterised by Cheyne as one “of striking interest, and both in form and matter stamped with the mark of Isaiah.”Concerning him.—Or, against him.The virgin the daughter of Zion.—A poetic personification of place. Zion here, as Jerusalem in the next line, is regarded as mother of the people dwelling there. (Comp. 2 Samuel 20:19.) The term Virgin naturally denotes the inviolable security of the citadel of Jehovah.Hath shaken her... 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
