Commentary on 2 Kings 19:21

Theological / Devotional

The virgin. Jerusalem withstood every effort of the Assyrians against her, and did not allow herself to become defiled. This personification of Jerusalem as a woman is a common figure (see Isa. 23:12; 52:2; Lam. 2:13; Micah 4:10).

Shaken her head. A gesture of scorn among the Hebrews (see Ps. 22:7; 109:25; Matt. 27:39).
