Isaías 36:8 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 36:8

Now therefore give pledges to my master the king of Assyria,
&c.] Or; "hostages" F8; that thou wilt not rebel against him, but be faithful to him, and he will withdraw his army; or give security for the horses after promised: "or mingle thyself with him"; agree the matter with him, give pledges for future fidelity; or join in battle with him, come out and fight him, if able: and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part
to set riders on them;
thus scoffing at him, as if he had not so many soldiers to bring out against him; or so many men in his kingdom as had skill enough to ride a horse; in his bravado he signifies, that if he would come out and fight him, he would lend him so many horses, if he could put men upon them, to assist him; this he said as boasting of his master's strength and power, and in scorn and derision at Hezekiah's weakness.

Isaías 36:8 In-Context

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.
7 'Pero si me decís: "Nosotros confiamos en el SEÑOR nuestro Dios," ¿no es El aquel cuyos lugares altos y cuyos altares Ezequías ha quitado y ha dicho a Judá y a Jerusalén: "Adoraréis delante de este altar"?
8 'Ahora pues, te ruego que llegues a un acuerdo con mi señor el rey de Asiria, y yo te daré dos mil caballos, si por tu parte puedes poner jinetes sobre ellos.
9 '¿Cómo, pues, puedes rechazar a un oficial de los menores de los siervos de mi señor, y confiar en Egipto para tener carros y hombres de a caballo?
10 '¿He subido ahora sin el consentimiento del SEÑOR contra esta tierra para destruirla? El SEÑOR me dijo: "Sube contra esta tierra y destrúyela.'""
