Gill's Notes on the Bible
He smote the Philistines even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof,.... Who in his father's time had invaded Judah, and taken many cities and towns in it, which Hezekiah now recovered, and drove them to their own territories, of which Gaza was one; see 2 Chronicles 28:18
from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city; that is, places both great and small, cities, towns, and villages; of this phrase, see
2 Kings 17:9.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Sargon had established the complete dominion of Assyria over the Philistines. Hence, the object of Hezekiah’s Philistine campaign was not so much conquest as opposition to the Assyrian power. How successful it was is indicated in the Assyrian records by the number of towns in this quarter which Sennacherib recovered before he proceeded against Jerusalem.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 18:8. From the tower of the watchmen — See the same words, 2 Kings 17:9. It seems a proverbial mode of expression: he reduced every kind of fortification; nothing was able to stand before him.
