God himself undertakes to defend the city; and that person, that place, cannot but be safe, which he undertakes to protect. The invasion of the Assyrians probably had prevented the land from being sown that year. The next is supposed to have been the sabbatical year, but the Lord engaged that the produce of the land should be sufficient for their support during those two years. As the performance of this promise was to be after the destruction of Sennacherib's army, it was a sign to Hezekiah's faith, assuring him of that present deliverance, as an earnest of the Lord's future care of the kingdom of Judah. This the Lord would perform, not for their righteousness, but his own glory. May our hearts be as good ground, that his word may strike root therein, and bring forth fruit in our lives.<a name="bar" id="bar"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/barnes/2_kings/19.htm">Barnes' Notes on the Bible</a></div>Hast thou not heard long ago ... - Rather, "Hast thou not heard, that from long ago I did this, from ancient times I fashioned it? etc." The former part of the verse refers to the secret divine decrees, whereby the affairs of this world are determined and ordered from the very beginning of things. Sennacherib's boasting, however, proved that he did not know this, that he did not recognize himself simply as God's instrument - "the rod of His anger" <a href="/isaiah/10-5.htm">Isaiah 10:5</a> - but regarded his victories as gained by his own "strength and wisdom" <a href="/isaiah/10-13.htm">Isaiah 10:13</a>. <a name="jfb" id="jfb"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/jfb/2_kings/19.htm">Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary</a></div>20. Then Isaiah &#8230; sent&#8212;A revelation having been made to Isaiah, the prophet announced to the king that his prayer was heard. The prophetic message consisted of three different portions:&#8212;First, Sennacherib is apostrophized (2Ki 19:21-28) in a highly poetical strain, admirably descriptive of the turgid vanity, haughty pretensions, and presumptuous impiety of the Assyrian despot. Secondly, Hezekiah is addressed (2Ki 19:29-31), and a sign is given him of the promised deliverance&#8212;namely, that for two years the presence of the enemy would interrupt the peaceful pursuits of husbandry, but in the third year the people would be in circumstances to till their fields and vineyards and reap the fruits as formerly. Thirdly, the issue of Sennacherib's invasion is announced (2Ki 19:32-34).<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/poole/2_kings/19.htm">Matthew Poole's Commentary</a></div> Hast thou not long since learned that which some of thy philosophers could and did teach thee, that there is a supreme and powerful God, by whose decree and providence all these wars and calamities were sent and ordered, whose mere instrument thou art, so that thou hast no cause for these vain boastings?

Or, as it is in the margin of our Bibles, <span class="ital">Hast thou not heard</span> that (a particle oft understood) <span class="ital">I have made</span> (i.e. constituted, or purchased, or adorned, for all these ways is this Hebrew verb used) it (either Jerusalem, which he now threatened; or rather, the Jewish nation, which he endeavoured to root out; the relative pronoun being put without the antecedent, which is to be gathered out of the context; of which I have formerly given instances) <span class="ital">long ago, and formed it</span> <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="bld">of ancient times?</span> i.e. didst thou not hear what I did for this people many ages since, that I carried them out of Egypt in spite of Pharaoh and all his host; and through the Red Sea, where I overthrew the Egyptians; and through the vast howling <span class="ital">wilderness</span>; and then brought them into this <span class="ital">land</span> by a strong hand, by which I destroyed all their enemies, and planted them in their stead? By which thou mayest understand how dear this people are to me, and how easily I could destroy thee before them, if I saw it fit; and that the places which thou hast taken, and the conquest which thou hast made here, are not to be imputed to thy valour or numbers, but unto my providence, who for wise and just reasons have given them up into thy hands, as it here follows. This may seem to be the truest sense, because that barbarous prince and people were much more likely to hear the tidings of what God did for the Israelites in Egypt, and at the Red Sea, and in Canaan, the fame of which was spread in all those parts, than to hear of or be instructed in the doctrine of God’s particular providence in the government of several nations, and all their counsels and actions of state and war.

The message he sent to Isaiah, with his answer, and the threatening letter of the king of Assyria, Hezekiah's prayer upon it, and the encouraging answer he had from the Lord, with the account of the destruction of the Assyrian army, and the death of Sennacherib, are the same "verbatim" as in <a href="/isaiah/37-1.htm">Isaiah 37:1</a> throughout; and therefore the reader is referred thither for the exposition of them; only would add what Rauwolff (t) observes, that still to this day (1575) there are two great holes to be seen, wherein they flung the dead bodies (of the Assyrian army), one whereof is close by the road towards Bethlehem, the other towards the right hand against old Bethel. <p>(t) Travels, par. 3. ch. 22. p. 317. <a name="gsb" id="gsb"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/gsb/2_kings/19.htm">Geneva Study Bible</a></div><span class="cverse2">Hast thou not heard long ago <i>how</i> I have done it, <i>and</i> of ancient times that I have formed it? <span class="cverse3">{q}</span> now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities <i>into</i> ruinous heaps.</span><p>(q) He declares that as he is the author and beginning of his Church, he will never allow it to be completely destroyed, as other cities and kingdoms.</div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="comtype">EXEGETICAL (ORIGINAL LANGUAGES)</div><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/cambridge/2_kings/19.htm">Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges</a></div><span class="bld">25</span>. This verse and the three following contain Jehovah’s response to Sennacherib.

With the whole of these four verses may be compared the Lord’s address to the Assyrian (<a href="/context/isaiah/10-9.htm" title="Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?...">Isaiah 10:9-19</a>). There that nation is described as the ‘rod of God’s anger’. It is God that sends him and gives him his charge to take spoil and prey. But hereafter the Lord will punish him also, and the glory of his high looks. For another rendering of this sentence see margin of A.V.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a name="pul" id="pul"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/2_kings/19.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 25.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it?</span> The strain suddenly changes - the person of the speaker is altered. It is no longer Sennacherib who reveals the thoughts of his own heart, but Jehovah who addresses the proud monarch. "Hast thou not heard, how from long ago I have acted thus? Hast thou never been taught that revolutions, conquests, the rise and fall of nations, are God's doing, decreed by him long, long age - ay, from the creation of the world? Art thou not aware that this is so, either from tradition, or by listening to the voice of reason within thine own heart?" It is implied that such knowledge ought to he in the possession of every man. <span class="cmt_word">And of ancient times that I have formed it?</span> A rhetorical repetition of the previous question, needful for the balance of clauses, in which Hebrew poetry delights, but adding nothing to the sense. <span class="cmt_word">Now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.</span> The idea was very familiar to Isaiah and his contemporaries. Years before, when Assyria first became threatening, Isaiah, speaking in the person of Jehovah, had exclaimed, "O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets" (<a href="/isaiah/10-5.htm">Isaiah 10:5, 6</a>). But the heathen kings whom God made his instruments to chasten sinful nations imagined that they conquered and destroyed and laid waste by their own strength (see <a href="/isaiah/10-7.htm">Isaiah 10:7-14</a>). 2 Kings 19:25<a name="kad" id="kad"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/kad/2_kings/19.htm">Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament</a></div>To this foolish boasting the prophet opposes the divine purpose which had been formed long ago, and according to which the Assyrian, without knowing it or being willing to acknowledge it, had acted simply as the instrument of the Lord, who had given him the power to destroy, but who would soon restrain his ranting against Him, the true God.<p><a href="/2_kings/19-25.htm">2 Kings 19:25</a><p>"Hast thou not heard? Long ago have I done this, from the days of olden time have I formed it! Now have I brought it to pass, that fortified cities should be to be destroyed into waste heaps." <a href="/2_kings/19-26.htm">2 Kings 19:26</a>. "And their inhabitants, short of hand, were dismayed and put to shame; they were herb of the field and green of the turf, grass of the roofs and blighted corn before the stalk." <a href="/2_kings/19-27.htm">2 Kings 19:27</a>. "And thy sitting and thy going out and thy coming I know, and thy raging against me." <a href="/2_kings/19-28.htm">2 Kings 19:28</a>. "Because of thy raging against me and thy safety, which rise up into my ears, I put my ring into thy nose, and my bridle into thy lips, and bring thee back by the way by which thou hast come." The words are still addressed to the Assyrian, of whom the Lord inquires whether he does not know that the destructive deeds performed by him had been determined very long before. "Hast thou not heart?" namely, what follows, what the Lord had long ago made known through His prophets in Judah (cf. <a href="http://biblehub.com/isaiah/7-7.htm">Isaiah 7:7-9</a>; <a href="http://biblehub.com/isaiah/8-1.htm">Isaiah 8:1-4</a> and <a href="http://biblehub.com/isaiah/8-7.htm">Isaiah 8:7</a>, etc.). &#1500;&#1502;&#1512;&#1495;&#1493;&#1511;, from distant time have I done it, etc., refers to the divine ordering and governing of the events of the universe, which God has purposed and established from the very beginning of time. The pronoun &#1488;&#1514;&#1492;&#1468;, and the suffixes attached to &#1497;&#1510;&#1512;&#1514;&#1468;&#1497;&#1492; and &#1492;&#1489;&#1497;&#1488;&#1514;&#1497;&#1492;, do not refer with vague generality to the substance of <a href="/2_kings/19-23.htm">2 Kings 19:23</a> and <a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/19-24.htm">2 Kings 19:24</a>, i.e., to the boastings of the Assyrians quoted there (Drechsler), but to &#1500;&#1492;&#1513;&#1473;&#1493;&#1514; &#1493;&#1468;&#1514;&#1492;&#1497;, i.e., to the conquests and devastations which the Assyrian had really effected. The &#1493; before &#1497;&#1510;&#1512;&#1514;&#1497;&#1492; introduces the apodosis, as is frequently the case after a preceding definition of time (cf. Ges. 155, a). &#1500;&#1492;&#1513;&#1473;&#1493;&#1514; &#1493;&#1468;&#1514;&#1492;&#1497;, "that it may be to destroy" (&#1500;&#1492;&#1513;&#1473;&#1493;&#1514;, a contraction of &#1500;&#1492;&#1513;&#1473;&#1488;&#1493;&#1514;, Keri and Isaiah, from &#1513;&#1473;&#1488;&#1492;; see Ewald, 73, c., and 245, b.), i.e., that it shall be destroyed, - according to a turn which is very common in Isaiah, like &#1500;&#1489;&#1506;&#1512; &#1492;&#1497;&#1492;, it is to burn equals it shall be burned (cf. <a href="/isaiah/5-5.htm">Isaiah 5:5</a>; <a href="/isaiah/6-13.htm">Isaiah 6:13</a>; <a href="http://biblehub.com/isaiah/44-15.htm">Isaiah 44:15</a>, and Ewald, 237, c.). The rendering given by Ges., Knob., Then., and others, "that thou mayest be for destruction," is at variance with this usage.<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/2_kings/19-25.htm">2 Kings 19:25 Interlinear</a><br /><a href="/texts/2_kings/19-25.htm">2 Kings 19:25 Parallel Texts</a><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/niv/2_kings/19-25.htm">2 Kings 19:25 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/2_kings/19-25.htm">2 Kings 19:25 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/2_kings/19-25.htm">2 Kings 19:25 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/2_kings/19-25.htm">2 Kings 19:25 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/2_kings/19-25.htm">2 Kings 19:25 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="http://bibleapps.com/2_kings/19-25.htm">2 Kings 19:25 Bible Apps</a><br /><a href="/2_kings/19-25.htm">2 Kings 19:25 Parallel</a><br /><a href="http://bibliaparalela.com/2_kings/19-25.htm">2 Kings 19:25 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="http://holybible.com.cn/2_kings/19-25.htm">2 Kings 19:25 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="http://saintebible.com/2_kings/19-25.htm">2 Kings 19:25 French Bible</a><br /><a href="http://bibeltext.com/2_kings/19-25.htm">2 Kings 19:25 German Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/">Bible Hub</a><br /></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br /> <!-- /1078254/BH-728x90-ATF --> <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br /> <!-- /1078254/BH-300x250-ATF --> <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br /> <!-- /1078254/BH-728x90-BTF --> <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br /> <!-- /1078254/BH-300x250-BTF --> <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br /> <!-- /1078254/BH-728x90-BTF2 --> <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="../2_kings/19-24.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="2 Kings 19:24"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="2 Kings 19:24" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="../2_kings/19-26.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="2 Kings 19:26"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="2 Kings 19:26" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div> <div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
