Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 37:15-16

NOBILITY AND SECURITYIsaiah 33:15-16. He that walketh righteously, &c.Those were terrible times in Jerusalem. The Assyrian power was exceedingly formidable; it was as ferocious as it was strong. The Assyrian had come up into the land, yet God had given a promise to His people that they should be preserved (chap. Isaiah 37:33-34). Some in the city rested con tent with the promise of God, and went about their daily business feeling perfectly safe. But there were few such. A great number were... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 37:15-20

A KING’S PRAYERIsaiah 37:15-20. And Hezekiah prayed, &c.I. Hezekiah prayed to Jehovah as the God of his nation. “O Lord God of Israel.” 1. The nation bore the name of one of its progenitors, who “as a prince had prevailed with God.” The name Israel had been more generally applied to the northern kingdom, which had already been overthrown, but Hezekiah claims it for the remnant that was left. When he uttered that name, did he wish to remind himself of Jacob’s power in prayer, or of God’s... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 37:10

Isaiah 37:10 I. Let us weigh this piece of satanic advice: "Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee." It is a very dangerous temptation for three reasons. (1) Because it appeals to the natural pride of the heart. There is a universal instinct which makes a man abhor the idea of being deceived. There is something in the very idea which rouses all the pride that lies latent in every heart. To take a man's confidence, to receive all the secret thoughts of his heart, to allow him to... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 37:1-38

Chapter 37And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes ( Isaiah 37:1 ),Yeah, man, it is bad. Rip, you know.and he covered himself with sackcloth ( Isaiah 37:1 ),Now sackcloth was something that they put upon themselves to more or less afflict themselves. It was whenever you were in mourning you would put on sackcloth. Sackcloth, as you can well imagine, against the skin must be very irritating. And so the king himself put on sackcloth.and he went into the house of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 37:1-38

Isaiah 37:3 . This is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy. What moral idea can we form of a conqueror? A man hailed, adored, and applauded by the world. History is full of his fame, and monuments are loaded with his glory. His ambition is without bounds: “he saith, I will cut off nations not a few.” And what idea must he have of the loss of his own army; the finest men of his nation, and fully equipped for war. Assuredly, he calculates the lives of men as merchants count their... read more
