2 Kings 19:2

_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._ No JFB commentary on this verse....

1-7 Hezekiah discovered deep concern at the dishonour done to God by Rabshakeh's blasphemy. Those who speak from God to us, we should in a particular manner desire to speak to God for us. The great Prophet is the great Intercessor. Those are likely to prevail with God, who lift up their hearts in prayer. Man's extremity is God's opportunity. While his servants can speak nothing but terror to the profane, the proud, and the hypocritical, they have comfortable words for the discouraged believer....

Verse 2 Kings 19:2. _TO ISAIAH THE PROPHET_] His fame and influence were at this time great in Israel; and it was well known that the word of the Lord was with him. Here both the Church and the state unite in fervent application to, and strong dependence upon, God; and behold how they succeed!...

Isaiah is here for the first time introduced into the history. His own writings show us how active a part he had taken in it for many years previously. This was the fourth reign since he began his prophesyings; and during two reigns at least, those of Ahaz and Hezekiah, he had been a familiar counselor of the monarch. He had probably counseled the revolt from Assyria, and had encouraged the king and people to persevere in their resistance. The exact date of prophecies can seldom be fixed with any certainty; but we can scarcely he mistaken in regarding 2 Kings 10; 30; 31 as written about the time of Hezekiah’s second revolt....

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 *. 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 ally of the princes of the Nile valley. 2 Kings 19:10.

ISAIAH. The first occurrence in the historical books. Hezekiah was one of the four kings in whose reign he prophesied (Isaiah 1:1). The Chapter s in Isaiah which refer to these events are 2 Kings 10:5; 2 Kings 12:6; 2 Kings 14:21. 2Ki 17:12-14. 2 Kings 17:22; 2 Kings 17:29 2 Kings 17:33. 2 Kings 1
