Commentary

Commentary on 2 Kings 20:5

Theological / Devotional

Captain. Literally, “leader,” “prince,” a designation of honor for one set apart to rule over God’s people (see 1 Sam. 9:16; 10:1; 13:14; 2 Sam. 5:2; 1 Kings 1:35).

I will heal thee. God could have healed Hezekiah instantaneously, but He did not choose to do so.

The third day. That is, on the day after the morrow Hezekiah would be well enough to make his way to the Temple to give praise to God. It is implied that Hezekiah’s first act upon recovering would be to return thanks to God in His Temple.
