Contextual Overview

¹ When King Hezekiah heard the message, he tore his clothes and put on rough cloth to show how sad he was. Then he went into the Temple of the Lord . ² Hezekiah sent Eliakim, the palace manager, and Shebna, the royal secretary, and the older priests to Isaiah. They were all wearing rough cloth when they came to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. ³ They told Isaiah, "This is what Hezekiah says: Today is a day of sorrow and punishment and disgrace, as when a child should be born, but the mother is not strong enough to give birth to it. ⁴ The king of Assyria sent his field commander to make fun of the living God. Maybe the Lord your God will hear what the commander said and will punish him for it. So pray for the few of us who are left alive." ⁵ When Hezekiah's officers came to Isaiah, ⁶ he said to them, "Tell your master this: The Lord says, ‘Don't be afraid of what you have heard. Don't be frightened by the words the servants of the king of Assyria have spoken against me. ⁷ Listen! I am going to put a spirit in the king of Assyria. He will hear a report that will make him return to his own country, and I will cause him to die by the sword there.'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Isaiah said unto them, thus shall you say unto your master,.... Or, "your lord" q; King Hezekiah, whose ministers and messengers they were:

thus saith the Lord, be not afraid of the words thou hast heard; be not not terrified by them, they are but words, and no more, and will never become facts:

wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me; by representing him as no better than the gods of the Gentiles, and as unable to deliver out of the hands of the king of Assyria the city of Jerusalem, when he had said he would. The word r for "servants" signifies boys, lads, young men; so Rabshakeh and his two companions, Rabsaris and Tartan, are called, by way of contempt, they acting a weak and childish part as well as a wicked one.

q אל אדניכם "ad dominum vestrum", Montanus. r נערי "pueri recens nati, infantes, pueri judicio", Gusset.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Wherewith the servants ... - Hebrew, נערי na‛ărēy - The ‘youth,’ or the young men. The word properly denotes boys, youths, young men; and is used here probably by way of disparagement, in contradistinction from an embassy that would be truly respectable, made up of aged men.

Have blasphemed me - God regarded these words as spoken against himself and he would vindicate his own honor and name.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Isaiah 37:6. Thus shall ye say — כה תאמרון ko tomerun, "thus shall ye (explicitly, earnestly, and positively) say." The paragogic נ nun deepens and increases the sense.
