2 Kings 21:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 21:12

Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel
Who, though kind and gracious to Israel as their covenant God, is yet just and righteous, as well as he is a sovereign Being and Lord of all:

behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that
whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle;
it will make such a noise in the world, and be so horrible and terrible; and if, he report of it would be so dreadful as to make a man's ears tingle, and his heart tremble, what must it be to endure it! ( Ezekiel 22:14 ) ( 1 Samuel 3:11 ) .

2 Kings 21:12 In-Context

10 Then the LORD said through his servants the prophets:

11 “King Manasseh of Judah has done many detestable things. He is even more wicked than the Amorites, who lived in this land before Israel. He has caused the people of Judah to sin with his idols.

12 So this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I will bring such disaster on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of those who hear about it will tingle with horror.

13 I will judge Jerusalem by the same standard I used for Samaria and the same measure I used for the family of Ahab. I will wipe away the people of Jerusalem as one wipes a dish and turns it upside down.

14 Then I will reject even the remnant of my own people who are left, and I will hand them over as plunder for their enemies.
