Isaiah 37:18 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 37:18

Of a truth Lord
This is a truth and will be readily owned what the king of Assyria has said that his ancestors have destroyed all lands, or at least have endeavoured to do it, and have had it in their hearts to do it: the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their
countries:
or "all the lands and their land" F13; the Targum is,

``all provinces and their lands;''
the countries and town and villages in them, or the chief cities and villages round about them.

F13 (Mura taw twurah lk) "omnes terras, et terram eorum", Pagninus, Montanus; "vel terram inquam eorum", Vatablus.

Isaiah 37:18 In-Context

16 Domine exercituum Deus Israhel qui sedes super cherubin tu es Deus solus omnium regnorum terrae tu fecisti caelum et terram
17 inclina Domine aurem tuam et audi aperi Domine oculos tuos et vide et audi omnia verba Sennacherib quae misit ad blasphemandum Deum viventem
18 vere enim Domine desertas fecerunt reges Assyriorum terras et regiones earum
19 et dederunt deos earum igni non enim erant dii sed opera manuum hominum lignum et lapis et comminuerunt eos
20 et nunc Domine Deus noster salva nos de manu eius et cognoscant omnia regna terrae quia tu es Dominus solus
