Barnes' Notes on the Bible

El rey de Asiria en 714 y 713 a.C. fue Sargón (a. C. 721-705). Si entonces se debe confiar en las cronologías bíblicas y asirias que coinciden exactamente en el año de la toma de Samaria (721 a.C.), el rey de Asiria aquí debe haber sido Sargón. Se puede conjeturar que se había ofendido por algo en la conducta de Ezequías, y que había amenazado a Jerusalén por este tiempo (compárese Isaías 20:6). Sin embargo, no hay evidencia de hostilidades reales entre Judea y Asiria durante el reinado de Sargón.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Versículo 2 Reyes 20:6 . Añadiré a tus días quince años. Este es el primer y único hombre que fue informado del término de su vida. ¿Y fue esto un privilegio? Seguramente no. Si Ezequías estaba apegado a la vida, como parece que lo estaba, ¡cómo debe afectarle a su mente marcar los años que se hunden! Sabía que iba a morir al cabo de quince años; y ¿cómo debía sentirse al final de cada año, cuando veía que se le cortaba tanto la vida? Debía sentir necesariamente mil muertes al temer una. Creo que no faltaría nada para completar la miseria de los hombres, excepto el lugar de tormento, si se les informara del momento preciso en que sus vidas deben terminar. Dios, en su abundante misericordia, ha ocultado esto a sus ojos.
