2 Reyes 19:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 19:1

And it came to pass, when King Hezekiah heard it
The report of Rabshakeh's speech, recorded in the preceding chapter,

that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth;
rent his clothes because of the blasphemy in the speech; and he put on sackcloth, in token of mourning, for the calamities he feared were coming on him and his people: and he went into the house of the Lord; the temple, to pray unto him. The message he sent to Isaiah, with his answer, and the threatening letter of the king of Assyria, Hezekiah's prayer upon it, and the encouraging answer he had from the Lord, with the account of the destruction of the Assyrian army, and the death of Sennacherib, are the same "verbatim" as in ( Isaiah 37:1 ) throughout; and therefore the reader is referred thither for the exposition of them; only would add what Rauwolff F20 observes, that still to this day (1575) there are two great holes to be seen, wherein they flung the dead bodies (of the Assyrian army), one whereof is close by the road towards Bethlehem, the other towards the right hand against old Bethel.

2 Reyes 19:1 In-Context

1 Y cuando el rey Ezequ铆as lo oy贸, rasg贸 sus vestidos, y se cubri贸 de cilicio, y entr贸 en la Casa del SE脩OR.
2 Y envi贸 a Eliacim el mayordomo, y a Sebna escriba, y a los ancianos de los sacerdotes, vestidos de cilicio a Isa铆as profeta hijo de Am贸s,
3 que le dijesen: As铆 dijo Ezequ铆as: Este d铆a es d铆a de angustia, y de reprensi贸n, y de blasfemia; porque los hijos han venido hasta la rotura, y la que da a luz no tiene fuerzas.
4 Por ventura oir谩 el SE脩OR tu Dios todas las palabras de Rabsaces, al cual el rey de los Asirios su se帽or ha enviado para injuriar al Dios vivo, y reprender谩 las palabras, las cuales el SE脩OR tu Dios ha o铆do; por tanto, eleva oraci贸n por las reliquias que aun se hallan.
5 Vinieron pues los siervos del rey Ezequ铆as a Isa铆as.
