Contextual Overview

¹ When King Hezekiah heard this, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and went to the Lord 's temple. ² Eliakim the palace supervisor, Shebna the scribe, and the leading priests, clothed in sackcloth, sent this message to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz: ³ "This is what Hezekiah says: ‘This is a day of distress, insults, and humiliation, as when a baby is ready to leave the birth canal, but the mother lacks the strength to push it through. ⁴ Perhaps the Lord your God will hear all these things the chief adviser has spoken on behalf of his master, the king of Assyria, who sent him to taunt the living God. When the Lord your God hears, perhaps he will punish him for the things he has said. So pray for this remnant that remains.'" ⁵ When King Hezekiah's servants came to Isaiah, ⁶ Isaiah said to them, "Tell your master this: ‘This is what the Lord says: "Don't be afraid because of the things you have heard—these insults the king of Assyria's servants have hurled against me. ⁷ Look, I will take control of his mind; he will receive a report and return to his own land. I will cut him down with a sword in his own land."'"

Isaiah 37:2. Musculus thinks that the third and fourth verses are the words of the king to the messengers, and not of the messengers to the prophet; and that the first clause of the "third" verse should be rendered, "that they might say unto him", c. and having received their instructions, here is an account of their going to the prophet with them, which they delivered to him, and which it was not necessary to repeat. The Arabic version reads this verse in connection with the following, thus, "when the servants of King Hezekiah, came to Isaiah, Isaiah said to them", &c.
