Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 22:1-25

CHAPTER XXTHE TURN OF THE TIDE: MORAL EFFECTS OF FORGIVENESS701 B.C.Isaiah 22:1-25 Contrasted With 33THE collapse of Jewish faith and patriotism in the face of the enemy was complete. Final and absolute did Isaiah’s sentence ring out: "Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith Jehovah of hosts." So we learn from chapter 22, written, as we conceive, in 701, when the Assyrian armies had at last invested Jerusalem. But in chapter 33, which critics unite in placing a few... read more

CHAPTER 22 The Burden of the Valley of Vision (Jerusalem) 1. Jerusalem’s deplorable state (Isaiah 22:1-4 ) 2. The invading armies (Isaiah 22:5-7 ) 3. The siege and the calamity (Isaiah 22:8-14 ) 4. Shebna (Isaiah 22:15-19 ) 5. Eliakim (Isaiah 22:20-25 ) This is another intensely interesting prophecy. Jerusalem has passed through many sieges and at last in part the prophecy has been fulfilled. But there is another siege of Jerusalem impending. It will come after the message of the... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 22:15

22:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, repair to this {q} treasurer, [even] to Shebna, who [is] over the house, [and say],(q) Because the Hebrew word also signifies one who nourishes and cherishes, there are those of the scholars who think that this wicked man nourished a secret friendship with the Assyrians and Egyptians to betray the Church and to provide for himself against all dangers: in the mean season he packed craftily, and got of the best offices into his hand under Hezekiah, ever... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 22:16

22:16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre {r} here, [as] he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, [and] that cut out an habitation {s} for himself in a rock?(r) Meaning, that he was a stranger, and came up of nothing.(s) While he thought to make his name immortal by his famous sepulchre, he died most miserably among the Assyrians. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 22:1-25

JUDGMENT ON GENTILE NATIONS This is a long lesson to read, but the study put upon it need not be proportioned to its length. There is a sameness in the chapters, and their contents are not unlike what we reviewed in the preceding lesson. Note the names of the nations and their contiguity to God’s chosen people. They have come in contact with their history again and again, which is why they are singled out for special mention. It will be well here to review what was said about these Gentile... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 22:1-25

The Valley of Vision Isaiah 22:0 Jerusalem was the valley of vision. Jerusalem was called a valley in this instance in relation to the great hills by which the Holy City was surrounded "As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people." The mountain-tops are higher than the pinnacles of the minster or the abbey, the temple or the cathedral. We always build under God. Some wondrous change has taken place here. Jerusalem is inquired about as an invalid would be... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 22:15-19

The removal of Shebna from the office of treasurer, no doubt, took place in the history of Judah; perhaps in the event of the invasion. But the introduction of the subject here seems to have reference to what the Prophet had in commission to deliver concerning a greater than Shebna, in the close of the chapter. Shebna, therefore, is the representative of every man, who setteth up his rest on this side the land of promise; who takes confidence in anything short of Jesus. Oh! for grace to make a... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 22:15-25

15-25 This message to Shebna is a reproof of his pride, vanity, and security; what vanity is all earthly grandeur, which death will so soon end! What will it avail, whether we are laid in a magnificent tomb, or covered with the green sod? Those who, when in power, turn and toss others, will be justly turned and tossed themselves. Eliakim should be put into Shebna's place. Those called to places of trust and power, should seek to God for grace to enable them to do their duty. Eliakim's... read more
