Isaías 22:20 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 22:20

And it shall come to pass in that day
At the same time that Shebna was deposed from his high station:

that I will call my servant Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah;
whom Kimchi thinks was the same with Azariah the son of Hilkiah, who might have two names, and was a ruler over the house of God in the times of Hezekiah, ( 1 Chronicles 6:13 ) ( 2 Chronicles 31:13 ) this man, by the character given him, was a good man, a faithful, diligent, and constant servant of the Lord, and therefore he delighted to raise him to great honour and dignity: he did not seek great things for himself, nor did he thrust himself into the office, but the Lord called him to it in his providence, and put him into it; he did, as Kimchi observes, put it into the heart of Hezekiah to appoint him governor in the room of Shebna. This man was a type of Christ; his name agrees with him which signifies, "my God will raise up"; that is, the dead by him, ( 1 Corinthians 6:14 ) and so does the character of a servant, frequently given to Christ in this book; see ( Isaiah 42:1 ) ( 49:3 ) ( 53:11 ) nor did Christ take any office to himself, but was called unto it by his Father, ( Hebrews 5:4 Hebrews 5:5 ) .

Isaías 22:20 In-Context

18 te arrugará y hará de ti una bola
y te lanzará a una tierra árida y distante.
Allí morirás,
y tus gloriosos carros de guerra quedarán rotos e inútiles.
¡Eres una vergüenza para tu amo!

19 »Sí, te sacaré de tu puesto —dice el Señor
—, te derribaré de tu elevada posición.

20 Y entonces llamaré a mi siervo Eliaquim, hijo de Hilcías, para que te reemplace.

21 Lo vestiré con tus vestiduras reales y le daré tu título y tu autoridad. Y será un padre para el pueblo de Jerusalén y de Judá.

22 Le daré la llave de la casa de David, la posición más elevada dentro de la corte real. Cuando él abra puertas, nadie podrá cerrarlas; cuando él cierre puertas, nadie podrá abrirlas.
