Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Where are the gods - Many MSS. add the conjunction here also: And, or But, where are the gods, etc.
For other matters relative to this chapter, see the notes on II Kings 18:13 (note), etc.
Of Sepharvaim - The other copy, II Kings 18:34, adds, of "Henah and Ivah."
Have they delivered - vechi . The copulative is not expressed here by the Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate, and three MSS.; nor is it in any other copy. Ib. Houbigant reads hachi , with the interrogative particle; a probable conjecture, which the ancient Versions above quoted seem to favor.
