Commentary on Isaiah 36:21

Theological / Devotional

Held their peace. See on 2 Kings 18:36. There was no effective answer that man could give to the arrogant Assyrian envoy. God alone could give the proper answer, and Hezekiah had faith to believe He would. Nothing that the Hebrew envoys might have said would have turned Sennacherib from his purpose, and they were therefore wisely commanded by Hezekiah to hold their peace.
