Commentary on 2 Kings 19:7

Theological / Devotional

Send a blast. Literally, “I will put a spirit in him.” The meaning of this passage is not clear. Perhaps what is meant is that God would place upon Sennacherib a spirit of trembling and fear, an impulse that would turn him from his thoughts of conquest and send him home in utter terror and dismay. The forecast is perhaps purposely vague, the Lord may not have desired at this time to reveal details.

Fall by the sword. See on v. 37.
