The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 37:3

Isaiah 37:3This day is a day of troubleHezekiah’s day of troubleAhaz the father and immediate predecessor of Hezekiah on the throne of Judah, engaged himself, and virtually his successors, to pay tribute to the kings of Assyria.Such a state of vassalage Hezekiah no doubt rightly though hazardously declined to continue, and this is what is meant when it is said of him that “he rebelled gains the king of Assyria and served him not” (2 Kings 18:7). Any such refusal on the part of Hezekiah to... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 37:2-3

2, 3. He sent Eliakim… Shebna Two of the previous commissioners, together with the elders of the priests, or heads of Levitical families, unto Isaiah, whose sacred teaching, as a great prophet in Jerusalem, was of vast weight with him.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 37:4

4. It may be Peradventure, possibly, perhaps. The Lord thy God will hear Jehovah will not fail to inflict vengeance on the blasphemy poured on his name this day by Rabshakeh, in behalf of his master, Sennacherib. The king puts this timidly, as though he hardly dared to hope; yet he does, and opens the apodosis of the sentence with a wherefore, or therefore, lift up thy prayer, namely, to Heaven.
