G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 37:1-38

Penitently, went Hezekiah immediately into the house of the Lord, while he sent messengers to Isaiah. The prophet sent them back with words of encouragement, declaring that God would deliver them. In the meantime Rabshakeh returned to the king in Assyria, and a letter was dispatched to Hezekiah warning him against being deceived by God. This letter he spread before the Lord, and prayed to Him for deliverance. His prayer was characterized by a great simplicity. It was the simplicity of faith... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 37:30-35

Yahweh’s Assurance of Deliverance to Jerusalem (Isaiah 37:30-35 ). At this point Isaiah turns his thoughts back to what Hezekiah really wants to know. What is about to happen to Jerusalem? Isaiah 37:30 ‘And this shall be the sign to you, you will eat this year what grows of itself, and in the second year what springs from that, and in the third year, sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.’ The sign that what he has described will come on Sennacherib is given by a promise of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 37:1-38

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

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 37:31

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH A CONTINUATION OF THE JEWISHIsaiah 37:31. And the remnant that is escaped, &c.When the power and splendour of the family of David were failing, the prophets foretold that the kingdom of the saints should one time be restored.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 37:31

Isaiah 37:31 The Christian Church a continuation of the Jewish. Consider one or two difficulties which at first may be felt in receiving this view of God's dealings with His Church, which in itself is most simple and satisfactory. I. It may be said that the prophecies have not been, and never will be, fulfilled in the letter, because they contain expressions and statements which do not admit, or certainly have not, a literal meaning. This objection is surely not well grounded, for it stands to... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 37:1-38

Chapter 37And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes ( Isaiah 37:1 ),Yeah, man, it is bad. Rip, you know.and he covered himself with sackcloth ( Isaiah 37:1 ),Now sackcloth was something that they put upon themselves to more or less afflict themselves. It was whenever you were in mourning you would put on sackcloth. Sackcloth, as you can well imagine, against the skin must be very irritating. And so the king himself put on sackcloth.and he went into the house of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 37:1-38

Isaiah 37:3 . This is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy. What moral idea can we form of a conqueror? A man hailed, adored, and applauded by the world. History is full of his fame, and monuments are loaded with his glory. His ambition is without bounds: “he saith, I will cut off nations not a few.” And what idea must he have of the loss of his own army; the finest men of his nation, and fully equipped for war. Assuredly, he calculates the lives of men as merchants count their... read more
