Commentary on 2 Kings 18:9

Theological / Devotional

Shalmaneser. The fifth Assyrian ruler by this name. He reigned from 727 to 722 B.C.

Against Samaria. Verses 9 to 12 constitute a repetition of the account of the fall of Samaria already given in ch. 17:50-23. Samaria’s fall is here dated in the years of both Hezekiah and Hoshea, and the story repeated to connect it with Hezekiah.
