Commentary on 2 Kings 18:31

Theological / Devotional

Hearken not. This was really an invitation to the people of Judah to repudiate their king and to take affairs into their own hands.

Make an agreement. The invitation was for the people of Judah to make their peace with Sennacherib and accept him as their king and friend.

His own vine. The expression conveys the idea of peace and prosperity, such as the people enjoyed under Solomon (1 Kings 4:24, 25), and such as would again be theirs if they accepted the covenant conditions (see Micah 4:3, 4; Zech. 3:10).
