F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Kings 19:1-13

Facing the Enemy’s Threatenings 2 Kings 19:1-13 That bowed form of Hezekiah before the altar of God, while his servants and elders were conferring with Isaiah, is a beautiful emblem of the true way of meeting trouble. And it is very blessed when our cause is so closely identified with God’s that we can appeal to Him to intervene for His own sake, 2 Kings 19:4 . All through this crisis, Isaiah acted the part of a patriot and a saint. His intrepid figure stands out in bold relief amid the... 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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 19:11

SENNACHERIB’S INVASION‘Shalt thou be delivered?’ 2 Kings 19:11 We can descry the vast army, with its multitudinous brown tents, environing the city of God, and the fierce people, whose deep guttural speech was unintelligible to the Jew, counting the towers and making preparation for the assault. I. The challenge of Sennacherib’s general.—(1) By speech.—In 2 Kings 18:17-Job :, the names of the officers are given and the precise position they occupied; also the officers of the king’s household... 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 19:9-14

News of The Approach Of A Large Egyptian Army Under Tirhakah, King Of Cush (the Sudan), Causes A Change Of Attitude And A Further Attempt To Obtain King Hezekiah’s Submission (2 Kings 19:9-14 ). The news that a large Egyptian army was approaching led by the son of the Egyptian Pharaoh, who bore the title ‘king of Cush’, caused a hurried change of mind in the Assyrian camp. Now it was more urgent than ever to obtain the surrender and submission of King Hezekiah. So messengers were sent with a... 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 19:9

King of Ethiopia, Heb. of Cush, i.e. either, 1. Of Arabia, as that word is most commonly meant; of which see the notes, and especially my Latin Synopsis, upon Numbers 12:1. Or rather, 2. Of Ethiopia beyond Egypt. Nor was there any need that he should force his passage through Egypt, which is objected against this opinion by a very learned man; because the Egyptians (against whom this Sennacherib warred, as heathen historians, Herodotus and Berosus, relate) and the Ethiopians were confederates... read more
