Commentary on 2 Kings 18:8
Theological / DevotionalSmote the Philistines. This constituted revolt against Assyria, for Sargon had smitten Philistia as far as the borders of Egypt and had captured Hanunu king of Gaza. Thus the country was under Assyrian control. Sargon claimed that in his 11th year he deposed Azuru of Ashdod, and he mentions receipt of tribute from Philistia, Judah, Edom, and Moab.
