Scripture focus

By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, [and] the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, [and] the forest of his Carmel.

Commentary on Isaiah 37:24

Theological / Devotional

Hast said. See on 2 Kings 19:23. Man was setting himself and his puny strength against the might of an omnipotent God. Sennacherib, like Lucifer, was guilty of self-glorification. His emphasis was on himself — “my chariots,” “am I come,” “I will cut down,” and “I will enter” (cf. Isa. 14:13, 14). The inscriptions of Sennacherib are replete with boasts such as this. But once more it was to be demonstrated that “pride goeth before destruction” (Prov. 16:18), and that “God resisteth the proud” (James 4:6).
