Commentary on Isaiah 37:36

Theological / Devotional

The angel of the Lord. See on 2 Kings 19:35. Angels are more commonly sent to save than to destroy. Nothing is known of the method employed by the angel upon this occasion, but whatever the method the visitation was sudden, and obliterated the besieging force. In accord with the ancient reluctance to enter unfavorable information in the national chronicles, the Assyrian records make no mention of this catastrophe.

Various legendary explanations are without value.
