2 Kings 19:1-37

The Deliverance of Jerusalem

2. Isaiah the prophet] This is the first mention of Isaiah in this book, but his own writings show that he had been an active teacher and statesman not only during the earlier years of Hezekiah himself, but also during the reign of Hezekiah's predecessor Ahaz: see on 2 Kings 16:7; 2 Kings 18:7. The Chapter s in the prophet's writings which relate to the present occasion are 2 Kings 10:5 to 2 Kings 12:6; 2 Kings 14:24; 2 Kings 17:12; 2 Kings 17:22; 2 Kings 17:29; 2 Kings 17:36 (the last two of which substantially repeat 1 Kings 18:19).
