Commentary on Isaiah 28:6

Theological / Devotional

Spirit of judgment. God gave good king Hezekiah a spirit of wisdom and sound judgment which in times of crisis enabled him to make wise decisions that saved his nation from the fate that overwhelmed Israel to the north. This same discerning spirit is promised to God’s leaders today. To the gate. Or, “at the gate.” The Assyrians had advanced to the very gates of Jerusalem, and its fall appeared inevitable, but the Lord turned back the Assyrian hordes and Judah was saved (see ch. 37:35-37).
