Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Kings 19:9

2 Kings 19:9. He heard say of Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, &c. Probably of Ethiopia beyond Egypt. For Josephus affirms that the Egyptians (against whom, according to Herodotus and Berosus, this Sennacherib warred) and Ethiopians were confederates in this expedition. It is most likely he was the same with the Sabaco of Herodotus. See Universal Hist., vol. 4, p. 321. He sent messengers again unto Hezekiah It is probable the king of Assyria thought by this message to terrify Hezekiah... 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.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 19:9

9-13. when he heard say of Tirhakah . . ., Behold, he is come out to fight against thee, &c.—This was the "rumor" to which Isaiah referred [ :-]. Tirhakah reigned in Upper Egypt, while So (or Sabaco) ruled in Lower Egypt. He was a powerful monarch, another Sesostris, and both he and Sabaco have left many monuments of their greatness. The name and figure of Tirhakah receiving war captives, are still seen in the Egyptian temple of Medinet Abou. This was the expected succor which was sneered... read more

3. Yahweh’s immediate encouragement 19:1-13Hezekiah’s response to this crisis was to turn to Yahweh in prayer and to His prophet for an answer. He sensed his position under Yahweh’s authority, humbled himself, and sought God’s help (cf. 2 Samuel 7; 1 Kings 8). God rewarded Hezekiah’s attitude and assured him of success because the Assyrians had challenged the reputation of Yahweh.God’s method of deliverance involved harassing the Assyrian army. First Libnah, a town a few miles northeast of... 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

(9) Heard say of Tirhakah.—For the construction, comp. Psalms 2:7; Psalms 3:2.Tirhakah.—Called in Egyptian inscriptions Taharka, in Assyrian Tarqû; the Ταρακὺς of Manetho, and Teapxwws of Strabo.

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
