Barnes' Notes
The affliction of Israel - That which the Israelites had suffered for two reigns at the hands of the Syrians II Kings 10:32-33; II Kings 13:3, II Kings 13:7,II Kings 13:22.
There was not any shut up, nor any left - A phrase implying complete depopulation (see the marginal reference note; I Kings 14:10), but here meaning no more than extreme depression and weakness.
