L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 32:1-33

ASSYRIA THREATENS JUDAH (vv.1-18) Assyria had before this conquered the ten tribes (2 Kings 17:1-41), and their king, Sennacharib, confident of taking Judah also, came to encamp against the fortified cities (v.1). The Lord did not send him because of any guilt on Judah's part, as was the case with Israel, but it was to be a test of the faith of the godly king Hezekiah. He consulted with his leaders and commanders to stop the water from the springs which were outside the city (v.4),... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:1-33

MANASSEH TO THE CAPTIVITY MANASSEH AND AMON (2 Chronicles 33:0 ) The history of the first-named is divided into three parts: (1) the outline of his character and reign down to the crisis of his punishment (2 Chronicles 33:1-10 ); (2) his affliction and repentance in Babylon (2 Chronicles 33:11-13 ); and (3) his later career and death (2 Chronicles 33:14-20 ). The first part was considered in Kings. For the reference to “groves” and “the host of heaven,” compare Deuteronomy 16:21 ;... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Chronicles 32:1-33

The Overthrow of Sennacherib 2 Chronicles 32:0 THE thirty-second chapter opens with words which we ought to be able to continue, if there is any inspiration in fancy, if we have any sense of true logic. The opening words are "After these things." The narrator may retire, for after our previous studies we are able to complete the sentence. Let us see whether this be not so, or whether imagination may be worsted in this insignificant attempt to eke out a record begun by inspiration. What "these... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:1

CONTENTS In this chapter we arrive in point of history to the close of Hezekiah's life and reign. He meets with a sharp trial in the approach of the Assyrian army. His sickness and death. Manasseh his son succeeds him in the throne. 2 Chronicles 32:1 We have the history of this war so much more fully related in 2 Kings 18:0 and 2 Kings 19:0 , that I shall have only to notice some few points not mentioned there, and then refer the Reader wholly to that account both in the sacred text and in the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 32:1-23

1-23 Those who trust God with their safety, must use proper means, else they tempt him. God will provide, but so must we also. Hezekiah gathered his people together, and spake comfortably to them. A believing confidence in God, will raise us above the prevailing fear of man. Let the good subjects and soldiers of Jesus Christ, rest upon his word, and boldly say, Since God is for us, who can be against us? By the favour of God, enemies are lost, and friends gained. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Chronicles 32:1-20

Sennacherib's Invasion v. 1. After these things and the establishment thereof, after the true worship of Jehovah had been reestablished and properly regulated by Hezekiah, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came and entered into Judah, on a campaign of conquest, and encamped against the fenced cities, the fortified towns, especially along the frontier, and thought to win them for himself, literally, "to break into them," to conquer and subdue them. v. 2. And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 2 Chronicles 32:1

2 Chronicles A STRANGE REWARD FOR FAITHFULNESS 2Ch_32:1 . The Revised Version gives a much more accurate and significant rendering of a part of these words. It reads: ‘After these things and this faithfulness , Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came.’ What are ‘these things’ and ‘this faithfulness’? The former are the whole of the events connected with the religious reformation in Judah, which King Hezekiah inaugurated and carried through so brilliantly and successfully. This ‘faithfulness’... read more
