以賽亞書 38:13-14 CUNPTS

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 38:1-22

In this chapter we have the story of the sickness of Hezekiah. That sickness would seem to have been intimately connected with the invasion of Sennacherib, for in Isaiah's message to Hezekiah that his prayer was heard it was promised, "I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city." The last verse of the chapter tells us that Hezekiah had asked a sign that he should go up to the house of the Lord, this in explanation of the account of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 38:9-20

Hezekiah’s Psalm of Praise (Isaiah 38:9-20 ). Isaiah 38:9 ‘The writing of Hezekiah the king of Judah when he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness.’ This was clearly originally a record on its own, written by Hezekiah. It was then incorporated by the compilers into the book. It stresses that it was Hezekiah who wrote it down. It was his purpose that it be sung in the Temple (Isaiah 38:20), and was in gratitude for his deliverance from death. Isaiah 38:10-12 ‘I said, in the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 38:1-22

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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 38:13

When I was filled with pain, and could not rest all the night long, even till morning, my thoughts were working and presaging that God would instantly break me to pieces, and that every moment would be my last; and the like restless and dismal thoughts followed me from morning till evening. But he mentions only the time before morning, to aggravate his misery, that he was so grievously tormented, when others had sweet rest and repose. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 38:14

Like a crane or a swallow; or, a crane and a swallow; the conjunction and being here, as it is Habakkuk 3:11, and elsewhere, understood, as is manifest from Jeremiah 8:7, where it is expressed with these very words. So did I chatter; my complaint and cry was like to the noise of a swallow, quick and frequent; and like that of a crane, loud and frightful. And this very comparison is used of mourners, not only in Scripture, but in other authors; concerning which the learned reader may consult my... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 38:1-19

HEZEKIAH’S PRAYERIsaiah 38:1-19In this narrative there are three points of difficulty and many points of instruction.I. THREE POINTS OF DIFFICULTY.1. Why was Hezekiah afraid to die? Answer: (1.) Even to a Christian man, death is an event of unutterable solemnity, for which he feels it necessary to make the most serious preparation, and which he would not like to have occur to him suddenly. (2.) Hezekiah had not that clear view of the future which has been granted to us (Isaiah 38:18; 2 Timothy... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 38:14

A CRY FOR HELPIsaiah 38:14. O Lord, I am oppressed; undertake for me.This prayer ascended from a sick-bed. State Hezekiah’s circumstances. From many sick-beds it still ascends. 1. From the sick-bed of the Christian who is distressed by thoughts of what may befall his wife and children after his removal from them. 2. From the sick-bed of the Christian who perceives that the world has been gaining much on his heart. Overtaken in the very strength and flower of his days by a sudden and dangerous... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 38:14

Isaiah 38:14 These are some of the words which King Hezekiah wrote when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness. This is surely a good prayer for a sick man, and it is a good prayer for a healthy man too; for if we understand what sickness is, we shall find it is sent that we may learn what is good for us when we are well. A man is broken down then that he may learn his true condition at all times. He feels the burden of death then that he may know he is carrying it about with him... read more

DISCOURSE: 916HELP FOR US IN GODIsaiah 38:14. O Lord, I am oppressed: undertake for me!THE time of death is an awful season to every child of man: but it may be more or less terrible, according to circumstances. There may, in that hour, be such manifestations of God’s presence vouchsafed to the soul, and such bright prospects of a glorious immortality, as altogether to divest death of its sting, and to render it an object of intense desire. On the other hand, there may be such darkness of mind,... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 38:1-22

Chapter 38In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set your house in order: for you shall die, and not live ( Isaiah 38:1 ).These are pretty heavy tidings. You get sick and a prophet of God comes and says, "Hey, set your house in order, man, this is it. You're going to die and not live." There are things that we must take care of before we die. Important things to take care of. The most important... read more
