The Hebrew word for "servants" is "עֲבָדִים" (avadim), which can also mean "slaves" or "attendants." In the context of ancient Israel, these were trusted officials or messengers who carried out the king's commands. Hezekiah, the king of Judah, was a righteous ruler who sought to follow the ways of the Lord, as seen in <a href="/2_kings/18-3.htm">2 Kings 18:3-6</a>. His reliance on his servants to communicate with the prophet Isaiah demonstrates his humility and recognition of the need for divine guidance in times of crisis.<p><b>went to Isaiah</b><br />The action of going to Isaiah signifies a deliberate and purposeful movement towards seeking divine counsel. Isaiah, whose name in Hebrew is "יְשַׁעְיָהוּ" (Yeshayahu), meaning "Yahweh is salvation," was a major prophet during the reign of Hezekiah. His role as a prophet was to be the mouthpiece of God, delivering messages of both judgment and hope. The historical context here is crucial: Judah was under threat from the Assyrian empire, and Hezekiah's decision to send his servants to Isaiah reflects his faith in God's power to deliver His people. This act of seeking out Isaiah underscores the importance of turning to God and His prophets for wisdom and guidance, especially in times of national distress. It serves as an inspirational reminder for believers to seek God's direction through prayer and His Word when faced with challenges.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/2_kings/19.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(5) <span class= "bld">So</span> <span class= "bld">the servants</span> <span class= "bld">. . .</span>--This verse merely resumes the narrative in a somewhat simple and artless fashion.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/2_kings/19.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 5.</span> -
