以賽亞書 39:8 RCUVTS

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

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 39:1-8

Hezekiah's Mistake Isaiah 39:0 This short chapter is full of dramatic incident and colour and suggestion. It is human life condensed into almost the briefest possible compass. Hezekiah had indeed been sick sick nigh unto death, and he did not want to die at nine-and-thirty years of age, as we have seen; so he turned his face unto the wall, and cried, and prayed, and wrestled with God, if haply he might continue in existence and see the unfolding of the residue of his days. The Lord heard the... read more

Days. He is not unconcerned about his children, but dares not request more. Having given way to immoderate joy and vanity, he was informed that all his treasures should be taken away. (Worthington) read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 39:1-8

The Babylonian Embassy and Its Consequences. Encouraged by the reverses which the Assyrian forces suffered in Syria, one of the viceroys of Babylon, the Chaldean Merodach-baladan, made himself, for a number of years, independent of the Assyrian power and attained to a position of some influence in the Eastern Empire. He was naturally most desirous of establishing himself more firmly and therefore sought also the friendship of Judah with its mighty king. v. 1. At that time Merodach-baladan,... read more

2. THE BABYLONISH EMBASSYIsaiah 39:1-81At that time Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered. 2And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his 1precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his 23armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 39:1-8

This brief chapter tells the story of Hezekiah's folly. After his recovery an embassy came from Babylon ostensibly to congratulate him. That their real motive was sinister is evident from the attitude of Isaiah when he came to the king and rebuked him. Hezekiah, flattered by their coming, showed them all his treasures, and thus gave away secrets which should have been hidden from their eyes. The prophet rebuked him, and foretold that the very things which he had shown the visitors would one... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 39:8

‘Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of Yahweh which you have spoken is good.” He said moreover, “For there will be peace and truth in my days.” ’ That Hezekiah lacked Messianic ambition comes out clearly here. He was not concerned with the distant future. He had no vision of the future that God had promised through Isaiah. He was simply satisfied that it meant that in his own day peace and truth would prevail. He was quite prepared for the future house of David to be in slavery (what a... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 39:1-8

Isaiah 36-39. This section has been extracted from 2 Kings 18:13 to 2 Kings 20:19, and the Song of Hezekiah has been added. For an exposition see the notes on 2 K.; here we have simply to deal with the Song of Hezekiah. Isaiah 38:10-Proverbs : . Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Imminent Death.— This is now generally regarded as a post-exilic psalm. Its absence in the parallel narratine in Kings is significant. Apparently it was inserted here by an editor who thought it suitable to Hezekiah’... read more
