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 19:8-9

The Lord was pleased to cause a little pause in the proud attempts of Sennacherib and his general, by diverting his attention elsewhere, both for the more complete destruction of this idolatrous prince, and for the better exercise of his servant's faith. Very gracious are the Lord's dealings with his people upon these occasions, could we but exercise faith always in the view of them: but alas! we lose the enjoyment of a thousand mercies, for want of eying them in this point of view. read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Kings 19:10-13

The same blasphemy is made use of by the master, as by the servant. It only riseth a little higher. He charges God with deceiving Hezekiah and bids him beware of it. Whereas Rab-shakeh only begged Hezekiah not to deceive himself. Reader! to what a desperate state of horrible impiety is the mind of men capable of being carried! Is it not enough to make one tremble, when we consider that all men are alike by nature Oh! dearest Lord Jesus! what do I owe thee, thou dear Lord, and what is the... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 19:9

When he, Sennacherib, though it would seem to refer to Rabsaces. (Haydock) --- Tharaca, called by Thearchon by Strabo, (i., and xv. p. 653.) extended his conquests as far as the pillars of Hercules. (Megasthenes) --- The Egyptians seem to have called him Sethon, and assert that the god (Vulcan) appeared to him on the approach of Sennacherib, assuring him of his protection. He encamped near Pelusium, where the enemy's army on its arrival was infested with rats, which destroyed their armour, and... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 19:8-19

8-19 Prayer is the never-failing resource of the tempted Christian, whether struggling with outward difficulties or inward foes. At the mercy-seat of his almighty Friend he opens his heart, spreads his case, like Hezekiah, and makes his appeal. When he can discern that the glory of God is engaged on his side, faith gains the victory, and he rejoices that he shall never be moved. The best pleas in prayer are taken from God's honour. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Kings 19:1-13

The Mourning of Hezekiah and the Arrogance of the Assyrian King v. 1. And it came to pass, when King Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, filled with horror over the blasphemy uttered by the Assyrian messengers, and covered himself with sackcloth, the garment of penitence, for he saw in the entire Assyrian campaign a punishment of God, and went into the house of the Lord. v. 2. And he sent Eliakim, which was over the household, and Shebna, the scribe, two of his chief officers, and... read more
