Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:1-8

Here is, I. The formidable design of Sennacherib against Hezekiah's kingdom, and the vigorous attempt he made upon it. This Sennacherib was now, as Nebuchadnezzar was afterwards, the terror and scourge and great oppressor of that part of the world. He aimed to raise a boundless monarchy for himself upon the ruins of all his neighbours. His predecessor Shalmaneser had lately made himself master of the kingdom of Israel, and carried the ten tribes captives. Sennacherib thought, in like manner,... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:9-23

This story of the rage and blasphemy of Sennacherib, Hezekiah's prayer, and the deliverance of Jerusalem by the destruction of the Assyrian army, we had more at large in the book of Kings, 2 Kgs. 18:1-19:37 It is contracted here, yet large enough to show these three things:? I. The impiety and malice of the church's enemies. Sennacherib has his hands full in besieging Lachish (2 Chron. 32:9), but hears that Hezekiah is fortifying Jerusalem and encouraging his people to stand it out; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:8

With him is an arm of flesh ,.... Only weak, frail, mortal men, not at all to be feared; nothing in comparison of the Lord: but with us is the Lord our God, to help us, and to fight our battles ; who is the Lord God Almighty, who has the host of heaven at his command, and with whom all the inhabitants of the earth are as nothing; the Targum is,"the Word of the Lord our God is for us to help us, and fight our battles:" and the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of... read more

After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem ,.... Who are mentioned by name, 2 Kings 18:17 this was after Hezekiah had given him a large quantity of silver and gold to depart, and he did depart from him, 2 Kings 18:14 but he himself laid siege against Lachish , and all his power with him; one of the cities of Judah, see Isaiah 36:2 , from hence he dispatched them unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem ; who had... read more

After this did Sennacherib - Having received the silver and gold mentioned above, he withdrew his army, but shortly after he sent Rab-shakeh with a blasphemous message. This is the fact mentioned here. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:1-8

In face of the enemy. We do not know how long "after these things, and the establishment thereof," occurred the events which are here narrated; but the connection of the two in the record of the Chronicler may suggest to us— I. THAT TROUBLE MAY FOLLOW FAITHFULNESS AS IT DOES FOLLOW SIN . We never read of Israel's serious departure from their loyalty to Jehovah without reading of appropriate penalty coming in due course. Suffering always waits on sin—suffering in... read more

An Assyrian invasion of Judah. I. THE DATE , 1 . Indefinitely. "After these things, and this faithfulness" ( 2 Chronicles 32:1 ); i.e. after the great Passover, which terminated in the destruction of the symbols of idolatry throughout the land, with the restoration of the true worship of Jehovah in Connection with the reopened and purified temple ( 2 Chronicles 30:1-27 ; 2 Chronicles 31:1-21 .), and after the singular display of zeal and piety on the part of Hezekiah in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:1-23

The weakness that bodes strength; the defiant strength that bodes shame efface. One of the most fruitful sources of strength in the individual character is according to the trustfulness that may be in it-the absence, or all but entire absence, of it on the one hand, and the larger or lesser bulk of it on the other. Trustfulness is a sure turning-point—a determining feature in the original shaping and in the growing formation of any character. The direction in which that trustfulness goes... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:8

(See 2 Kings 6:16 ; Jeremiah 17:5 .) The admirable language of Hezekiah here quickens our desire to feel sure that this was after (and after genuine repentance for) his faithlessness ( 2 Kings 18:14-16 ). read more
