Commentary on Isaiah 37:13

Theological / Devotional

Of Hamath. See on 2 Kings 19:13. The same question had already been asked regarding the gods of Hamath and Arpad (Isa. 36:19), and now, of the kings of these cities. The implied answer is that they had met with the terrible fate of all who dared to resist Assyrian arms. Dead Sea scroll 1QIs adds Samaria after Ivah.
