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 Então, de Laquis, o rei da Assíria enviou seu comandante com um grande exército a Jerusalém, ao rei Ezequias. Quando o comandante parou no aqueduto do açude superior, na estrada que leva ao campo do Lavandeiro,
3 o administrador do palĂĄcio, Eliaquim, filho de Hilquias, o secretĂĄrio Sebna e o arquivista real JoĂĄ, filho de Asafe, foram ao encontro dele.
4 E o comandante de campo falou: “Digam a Ezequias:“Assim diz o grande rei, o rei da AssĂ­ria: ‘Em que vocĂȘ estĂĄ baseando essa sua confiança?
5 VocĂȘ diz que tem estratĂ©gia e força militar, mas nĂŁo passam de palavras vĂŁs. Em quem vocĂȘ confia, para rebelar-se contra mim?
6 Pois veja! Agora vocĂȘ estĂĄ confiando no Egito, aquela cana esmagada, que fura a mĂŁo de quem nela se apoia! Assim Ă© o faraĂł, o rei do Egito, para todos os que dele dependem.
