Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Y Ezequías dijo: Antes de la recuperación real, Ezequías, que al principio no se sintió mejor, pidió una "señal" de que realmente sería restaurado para la salud.

Pedir una señal es un acto piadoso o malvado de acuerdo con el espíritu en el que se hace. No se atribuye ninguna culpa a las solicitudes de Gedeón Jueces 6:17, Jueces 6:37, Jueces 6:39, ni a esto de Ezequías, porque eran verdaderos deseos del corazón expresó humildemente. La "generación malvada" que "buscó una señal" en los días de nuestro Señor en realidad no la quería, pero hizo la demanda de manera cautiva, sin esperar ni desear que se la concediera.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Versículo 2 Reyes 20:8 . ¿Cuál será la señal? Deseaba estar plenamente convencido de que su cura iba a ser enteramente sobrenatural; y, para esto, busca un milagro para probar la verdad del otro, para que nada quede equívoco .
