Isaías 36:4 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 36:4

And Rabshakeh said unto them
The three ministers above mentioned: say ye now to Hezekiah;
tell him what follows; he does not call him king, as he does his own master: thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria;
this he said boastingly of his master, and in order to terrify Hezekiah and his subjects; whom he would represent as little in comparison of him, who had subdued many kingdoms, and aimed at universal monarchy; so the eastern kings used to be called, as now the Grand Signior with the Turks, and the French call their king the great monarch; but the title of a great king suits best with God himself, ( Psalms 95:3 ) : what confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
meaning, what was the ground and foundation of his confidence? what was it that kept him in high spirits, that he did not at once submit to the king of Assyria, and surrender the city of Jerusalem to him?

Isaías 36:4 In-Context

2 Y el rey de Asiria envió desde Laquis a Jerusalén, al Rabsaces con un gran ejército, contra el rey Ezequías. Y se colocó junto al acueducto del estanque superior que está en la calzada del campo del Batanero.
3 Entonces Eliaquim, hijo de Hilcías, mayordomo de la casa real, el escriba Sebna y el cronista Joa, hijo de Asaf, salieron a él.
4 Y el Rabsaces les dijo: Decid ahora a Ezequías: "Así dice el gran rey, el rey de Asiria: '¿Qué confianza es ésta que tú tienes?
5 'Yo digo: "Tu consejo y poderío para la guerra sólo son palabras vacías." Ahora pues, ¿en quién confías que te has rebelado contra mí?
6 'He aquí, tú confías en el báculo de esta caña quebrada, es decir, en Egipto, en el cual, si un hombre se apoya, penetrará en su mano y la traspasará. Así es Faraón, rey de Egipto, para todos los que confían en él.
