2 Kings 20:12-19

At that time Berodachbaladan ,.... He is called Merodachbaladan, Isaiah 39:1 , so here in the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions; See Gill on Isaiah 39:1 ; and by Metasthenes F26 Ut supra. (De Judicio Temp. fol. 221. 2.) his father is called Merodach, and he Ben Merodach, who reigned twenty one years, and his father fifty two; from hence to the end of 2 Kings 20:12 the same account is given in the same words as in Isaiah 39:1 throughout, except in 2 Kings 20:13 , where it is, "hearkened unto them", and there, "glad of them"; heard the letter the ambassadors brought with pleasure; see the notes there. See Gill on Isaiah 39:1 and following.
