Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 2 Kings 19:28-37

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

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 19:1-37

In the presence of the undoubted peril, Hezekiah in penitence turned to his old and trusted friend, the prophet Isaiah, and charged him to pray for that remnant of God's people which still remained. He thereupon uttered a prophecy concerning the deliverance which was to come, and thus revealed the fine scorn of a man who lived in communion with God for all such empty boasting as that of Sennacherib. God has need of a very small thing to work His will. Said Isaiah, "He shall hear a rumour." As... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 19:1-37

The Reign of Hezekiah King of Judah c. 716-687 BC (2 Kings 18:1 to 2 Kings 20:21 ). Co-regency from c 729 BC. There now begins the reign of one of the two great kings after David of whom it could be said ‘after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among those who were before him.’ The other will be Josiah (compare 2 Kings 23:25). In both cases the words are hyperbole and not intended to be applied literally (otherwise David would have been seen as excelled). But they... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 19:35-37

YHWH Totally Unexpectedly Devastates The Assyrian Army Causing Sennacherib To Return Home Where Subsequently He Arranges For His Assassination (2 Kings 19:35-37 ). What happened now was totally unexpected, and deliberately so. YHWH wanted to make an instant and great impression on His people of what He could do on their behalf. The fact that there was no forewarning indicates both the genuineness of the previous prophecies (which if invented would hardly have failed to mention this stupendous... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 19:1-37

2 Kings 19:2 . unto Isaiah: from the Book of Isaiah we learn that the prophet had steadily opposed Hezekiah’ s intrigues against Assyria.— Shelna: Isaiah 22:15-Lamentations : *. 2 Kings 19:9 . Ethiopia was the country S. of Egypt. At a time later than this (681 B.C. ?), Tirhakah seems to have established his government in Egypt. There is, therefore, a chronological difficulty in the mention of him here (p. 72). He is, however, not called “ king of Egypt,” and he may have been acting as an... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Kings 19:35

That night; either, 1. In the night following this message of the prophet to Hezekiah; or, 2. In that famous night when God destroyed the Assyrians, it was done in this manner. For such expressions are oft used of an indefinite and uncertain time, as that day is frequently taken, as Isaiah 4:1; Isaiah 26:1; Isaiah 27:1, &c. Smote in the camp, with pestilence, or some other sudden and mortal stroke. The camp of the Assyrians; either before Libnah, or in some other place near Jerusalem, where... read more

JERUSALEM SUPERNATURALLY DELIVEREDCRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—2 Kings 19:2. Sent to the prophet Isaiah—The prophet, in that Jewish age, was regarded as the messenger and representative of Jehovah. While the king was entrusted to witness of the Royalty and Majesty of God, the prophet was recognized as the oracle of Divine Wisdom and Truth. Here was a crisis of eminent peril to the nation, in which the people and the Name of Jehovah were alike contemptuously menaced. It was a moment for the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 19:35

2 Kings 19:35 I. In the first thirty-seven chapters of Isaiah's prophecies we have a full account of the ways of the Jews at that time, and the reasons why God allowed so fearful a danger to come upon them. The first thirty-five chapters are a spiritual history of the Jews and the Assyrians and all the nations round them for many years. The kings of Assyria thought themselves the greatest and strongest beings in the world; they thought that their might was right, and that they might conquer,... read more
