Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 39:5-6

Isaiah informed the king that the Babylonians would end up taking everything that Hezekiah had shown the ambassadors back to Babylon-not as resources for opposition to Assyria but as the spoils of war. This is the first explicit reference to the Babylonian captivity in Isaiah. Many critics of the Bible who do not believe in predictive prophecy have used this reference as evidence of a much later date of writing than Isaiah’s day. The ambassadors had come "from Babylon" (Isaiah 39:3), and they... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 39:7

Some of Hezekiah’s descendants would also be taken (captive) to Babylon. It is very probable that at the time of the events in chapters 36-39 Hezekiah had no children. His son, Manasseh, began reigning when he was 12 years old, and Hezekiah died a year later, in 686 B.C. Thus, Isaiah’s announcement here may have sparked a hope-in Hezekiah’s mind-for some descendants. As usual, God’s promise of judgment contained some hope. This prediction of Hezekiah’s descendants became true of the king’s... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 39:1-8

Alliance with Babylon DenouncedConclusion of the historical appendix. The chapter belongs to the period when Merodach-Baladan of Babylon was making efforts to bring the various peoples of W. Asia into alliance against the common enemy, the king of Assyria (at this time Sargon, Isaiah 20:1). The arrangement of such alliance with Hezekiah was, doubtless, the object of the embassy, and this explains Hezekiah’s gladness and exhibition of his resources (Isaiah 39:2). Congratulation to the king of... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 39:6-7

(6, 7) Behold, the days come . . .—The words, it may be noted, received a two-fold fulfilment, under widely different conditions. Hezekiah’s son Manasseh, at the time when Isaiah spoke unborn, was carried as a prisoner to Babylon by Esar-haddon, king of Assyria (2 Chronicles 33:11). The last lineal heir of the house of David, Jehoiachin, died there after long years of imprisonment (2 Kings 25:27). Daniel and his three companions were “of the king’s seed and of the princes,” and were, probably,... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 39:1-8

2CHAPTER 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

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 39:1-8

CHAPTER 39 Hezekiah’s Self-Exaltation 1. The ambassadors of Merodach-baladan (Isaiah 39:1 ) 2. Hezekiah’s boasting (Isaiah 39:2 ) 3. Isaiah’s inquiry (Isaiah 39:3-4 ) 4. The Babylonian captivity announced (Isaiah 39:5-7 ) 5. Hezekiah’s submission and comfort (Isaiah 39:8 ) The prediction of Isaiah of the Babylonian captivity, fulfilled through King Nebuchadnezzar about 100 years after these words were spoken, is startling. The reader will bear in mind that the Assyrian was not yet... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 39:1-8

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
