Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Kings 19:36

2 Kings 19:36. So Sennacherib departed Ashamed to see himself, after all his proud boasts, thus defeated, and disabled to pursue his conquests, or even to secure what he had gained, the flower of his army being cut off; nay, and continually afraid of falling under the like stroke himself. The manner of the expression, He departed, and went, and returned, intimates the great disorder and distraction of mind he was in. 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

departed. There is no mention of the capture of Jerusalem in Sennacherib's inscription. This omission is more remarkable than what Sennacherib says. Had he taken Jerusalem, the omission would be unaccountable. Compare 2 Chronicles 32:21 and Psalms 129:4 , Psalms 129:5 . and. Note the Figure of speech Polysyndeton ( App-6 ) to greatly emphasize the fact of his defeat. 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

36. So Sennacherib king of Assyria . . . went and returned—the same way as he came ( :-). The route is described ( :-). The early chariot track near Beyrout is on the rocky edge of Lebanon, which is skirted by the ancient Lycus (Nahr-el Kelb). On the perpendicular face of the limestone rock, at different heights, are seen slabs with Assyrian inscriptions, which having been deciphered, are found to contain the name of Sennacherib. Thus, by the preservation of these tablets, the wrath of the... read more

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

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

(36) Departed, and went.—Broke up camp, and marched. There should be a stop at returned.And dwelt at Nineveh.—Or, and he abode in Nineveh, implying that he did not again invade the west. Sennacherib records five subsequent expeditions to the east, north, and south of his dominions, but these obviously were nothing to the peoples of Palestine. (See Notes on 2 Kings 20:12.)Nineveh.—The capital of Assyria, now marked by large mounds on the east bank of the Tigris, opposite Mosul. (The Arabic... 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
