Gill's Notes on the Bible
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 t 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.
t Travels, par. 3. ch. 22. p. 317.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Hezekiah, like his officers, probably rent his clothes on account of Rab-shakeh’s blasphemies: and he put on sackcloth in self-humiliation and in grief. The only hope left was in Yahweh, for Egypt could not be trusted to effect anything of importance. Rab-shakeh’s boldness had told upon Hezekiah. He was dispirited and dejected. He perhaps began to doubt whether he had done right in yielding to the bolder counsels of Eliakim and Isaiah. He had not lost his faith in God; but his faith was being severely tried. He wisely went and strove by prayer to strengthen it.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible

him, 1-4.

destruction of the king of Assyria and his army, 5-8.
Sennacherib, hearing that his kingdom was invaded by the
Ethiopians, sends a terrible letter to Hezekiah, to induce
him to surrender, 9-13.
Hezekiah goes to the temple, spreads the letter before the
Lord, and makes a most affecting prayer, 14-19.
Isaiah is sent to him to assure him that his prayer is heard;
that Jerusalem shall be delivered; and that the Assyrians
shall be destroyed, 20-34.
That very night a messenger of God slays one hundred and
eighty-five thousand Assyrians, 35.
Sennacherib returns to Nineveh, and is slain by his own sons,
36, 37.
