Gill's Notes on the Bible

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Make an agreement ... - Rather, “Make peace with me.†The word, which primarily means “blessing,†and secondarily “a gift,†has also the meaning, though more rarely, of “peace.†Probably it acquired this meaning from the fact that a peace was commonly purchased by presents.
eat ... drink - A picture of a time of quiet and prosperity, a time when each man might enjoy the fruits of his land, without any fear of the spoiler’s violence. The words are in contrast with the latter part of 2 Kings 18:27.
Cistern - Rather, “well†Deuteronomy 6:11. Each cultivator in Palestine has a “well†dug in some part of his ground, from which he draws water for his own use. “Cisterns,†or reservoirs for rain-water, are comparatively rare.
