1 On hearing it, King Hizkiyahu tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth and entered the house of Adonai . 2 He sent Elyakim, who was in charge of the household, Shevnah the general secretary and the leading cohanim, covered with sackcloth, to Yesha‘yahu the prophet, the son of Amotz. 3 They said to him, "This is what Hizkiyahu says: ‘Today is a day of trouble, rebuke and disgrace. Children are ready to be born, but there is no strength to bring them to birth. 4 Maybe Adonai your God will hear all the words of Rav-Shakeh, whom his master the king of Ashur has sent to taunt the living God, and will rebuke the message which Adonai your God has heard. So pray for the remnant that is left." 5 When King Hizkiyahu's servants came to Yesha‘yahu, 6 he said to them, "Tell your master that this is what Adonai says: ‘Don't be afraid of the words you heard the servants of the king of Ashur use to insult me. 7 I will put a spirit in him that will make him hear a rumor and return to his own land; then I will cause him to die by the sword in his own land.'"

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Will hear - i. e., âwill show that he has heard - will notice and punish.â
The living God - See 1 Samuel 17:26 note.
And will reprove the words - Rather, âwill reprove him for the words.â
The remnant - i. e., for the kingdom of Judah, the only remnant of Godâs people that was now left, after Galilee and Gilead and Samaria had all been carried away captive.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 19:4. The remnant that are left — That is, the Jews; the ten tribes having been already carried away captive by the kings of Assyria.
