A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
Wherefore the wrath of the Lord was upon Judah and Jerusalem--This pious king had the discernment to ascribe all the national calamities that had befallen the kingdom to the true cause, namely, apostasy from God. The country had been laid waste by successive wars of invasion, and its resources drained. Many families mourned members of their household still suffering the miseries of foreign captivity; all their former prosperity and glory had fled; and to what was this painful and humiliating state of affairs to be traced, but to the manifest judgment of God upon the kingdom for its sins? |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
He hath delivered them to ... hissing - See Kg1 9:8 note. It was an expression which Hezekiah might naturally use, for it had occurred in a prophecy of Micah Mic 6:16, his contemporary and monitor Jer 26:18-19, which was probably uttered toward the close of the reign of Ahaz. In Jeremiah the phrase becomes common (marginal references). |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Hissing - To such calamities as all that see and hear of, shall be astonished at, and hiss at those, who by their own sin and folly have brought such miseries upon themselves. When we are under the rebukes of God's providence, it is good for us to enquire, Whether we have not neglected God's ordinances, and whether that be not the controversy he has with us? |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
He hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment - He probably refers here chiefly to that dreadful defeat by the Israelites in which a hundred and twenty thousand were slain, and two hundred thousand taken prisoners; see the preceding chapter, Ch2 28:6-8 (note). |
18 Micah [04320] the Morasthite [04183] prophesied [05012] in the days [03117] of Hezekiah [02396] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and spake [0559] to all the people [05971] of Judah [03063], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Zion [06726] shall be plowed [02790] like a field [07704], and Jerusalem [03389] shall become heaps [05856], and the mountain [02022] of the house [01004] as the high places [01116] of a forest [03293].
19 Did Hezekiah [02396] king [04428] of Judah [03063] and all Judah [03063] put him at all [04191] to death [04191]? did he not fear [03373] the LORD [03068], and besought [02470] the LORD [03068] [06440], and the LORD [03068] repented [05162] him of the evil [07451] which he had pronounced [01696] against them? Thus [0587] might we procure [06213] great [01419] evil [07451] against our souls [05315].
16 For the statutes [02708] of Omri [06018] are kept [08104], and all the works [04639] of the house [01004] of Ahab [0256], and ye walk [03212] in their counsels [04156]; that I should make [05414] thee a desolation [08047], and the inhabitants [03427] thereof an hissing [08322]: therefore ye shall bear [05375] the reproach [02781] of my people [05971].
8 And at this house [01004], which is high [05945], every one that passeth [05674] by it shall be astonished [08074], and shall hiss [08319]; and they shall say [0559], Why hath the LORD [03068] done [06213] thus unto this land [0776], and to this house [01004]?
6 For Pekah [06492] the son [01121] of Remaliah [07425] slew [02026] in Judah [03063] an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] in one [0259] day [03117], which were all valiant [02428] men [01121]; because they had forsaken [05800] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01].
7 And Zichri [02147], a mighty man [01368] of Ephraim [0669], slew [02026] Maaseiah [04641] the king's [04428] son [01121], and Azrikam [05840] the governor [05057] of the house [01004], and Elkanah [0511] that was next [04932] to the king [04428].
