Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
God, in righteous retribution, turned their objects of trust into the instruments of their punishment: Pul, Tiglath-pileser, Esar-haddon, and Shalmaneser (II Kings 15:19, II Kings 15:29; II Kings 17:3, II Kings 17:6, II Kings 17:24; Ezra 4:2, Ezra 4:10). "It was their sin to have sought after such lovers, and it was to be their punishment that these lovers should become their destroyers" [FAIRBAIRN].
