2 Kings 18:31 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 18:31

29 Thus says the king: ^a‘Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he shall not be able to deliver you from his hand;

30 nor let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord, saying, “The Lord will surely deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.” ’

31 Do not listen to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria: ‘Make peace with me¹ by a present and come out to me; and every one of you eat from his own ^avine and every one from his own fig tree, and every one of you drink the waters of his own cistern;

32 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, ^aa land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive groves and honey, that you may live and not die. But do not listen to Hezekiah, lest he persuade you, saying, “The Lord will deliver us.”

33 ^aHas any of the gods of the nations at all delivered its land from the hand of the king of Assyria?

34 Where are the gods of ^aHamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim and Hena and ^bIvah? Indeed, have they delivered Samaria from my hand?
