Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 37:18

Theological / Devotional

Laid waste all the nations. Assyria was now at the very height of its power. Tiglath-pileser III (745-727), Shalmaneser V (727-722), Sargon II (722-705), and Sennacherib (705-681) were the greatest kings that Assyria ever knew, and under their sway the nations of Western Asia were crushed and left desolate. If Sennacherib boasted, Hezekiah now frankly acknowledged that his boasting was not without reason. Dead Sea scroll 1QIs omits “and their countries.”
