Commentary on 2 Kings 20:18

Theological / Devotional

Thy sons. “Sons,” in Hebrew, often stands simply for posterity. Manasseh, Hezekiah’s son, was taken to Babylon by the Assyrians (2 Chron. 33:11). In Nebuchadnezzar’s time many of the royal family were carried away into Babylonian captivity (2 Kings 24:12; 25:6, 7). This was fulfilled in the case of Daniel and his three friends (see Dan. 1:3-7).
