L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 19:1-37

GOD'S ANSWER THROUGH ISAIAH (vv.1-7) Hezekiah, when he heard the report, showed the same humble attitude as his three servants had. He tore his cloches and put on sackcloth, the symbol of repentance and self-judgment. This was negative, but he also cook the positive action of going into the house of the Lord. There he would find positive help. No doubt it was through the Lord's guidance that he sent Eliakim and Shebna and the elders of Israel to Isaiah the prophet. The message they brought... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 19:1-37

JUDAH UNDER HEZEKIAH A SUMMARY OF THE REIGN (2 Kings 18:1-8 ) For a more extensive history of this good reign compare 2 Chronicles 29-32, and also Isaiah 36-39. In the first eight verses we have the usual summary like that of Ahaz (16:1-4), after which follows in detail the chief events of the reign. The summary contains the age and period of the king (2 Kings 18:1-2 ); his attitude toward the true worship (2 Kings 18:3-4 ); a reference to the spirit animating his life and conduct (2 Kings... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Kings 19:1-37

2 Kings 19:0 I. And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord [to humble himself before Jehovah, and pray for help (comp. 2Ch 32:20 )]. 2. And he sent Eliakim, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz. 3. And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Kings 19:35-37

We have here not only the fulfillment of God's promises in the salvation of his people; but the pouring out of his anger in the destruction of his enemies. Sennacherib himself, though saved, was only saved to have a more painful destruction. His own children shall be his executioners; and he shall die unpitied, even by those who from the ties of nature ought to have loved him. Some have thought that the 76th Psalm was composed upon this occasion. If so, it is strongly expressed in token of the... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 19:35-37

35-37 That night which followed the sending of this message to Hezekiah, the main body of their army was slain. See how weak the mightiest men are before Almighty God. Who ever hardened himself against Him and prospered? The king of Assyria's own sons became his murderers. Those whose children are undutiful, ought to consider whether they have not been so to their Father in heaven? This history exhibits a strong proof of the good of firm trust and confidence in God. He will afflict, but not... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Kings 19:14-37

Hezekiah's Prayer and the Deliverance of Jerusalem v. 14. And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers and read it. And Hezekiah went up into the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord. This is a fine example to follow in case of every difficulty, namely, to lay the matter before the Lord first. v. 15. And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said, O Lord God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubim, that being the place where the glory of the Lord appeared to... read more

2 Kings ‘HE UTTERED HIS VOICE, THE EARTH MELTED’ 2Ki_19:20 - 2Ki_19:22 ; 2Ki_19:28 - 2Ki_19:37 . At an earlier stage of the Assyrian invasion Hezekiah had sent to Isaiah, asking him to pray to his God for deliverance, and had received an explicit assurance that the invasion would be foiled. When the second stage was reached, and Hezekiah was personally summoned to surrender, by a letter which scoffed at Isaiah’s promise, he himself prayed before the Lord. Isaiah does not seem to have been... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Kings 19:25-37

the Answer of the King of Kings 2 Kings 19:25-37 These verses, taken with Isaiah 10:5-15 , form a most suggestive and sublime comment on the words, “the Lord reigneth.” They show us God using the Assyrian as “the rod of His anger,” and working personally and mightily through the politics of the world. Isaiah’s faith, through all this terrible crisis, was the one bulwark behind which king and people lay entrenched. What a gift one such man is to an entire people! His heart is fixed, trusting... read more
