SEV Biblia, Chapter 32:9
¶ Después de esto Senaquerib rey de los asirios, estando él sobre Laquis y con él toda su potencia, envió sus siervos a Jerusalén, para decir a Ezequías rey de Judá, y a todo Judá que estaba en Jerusalén:
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:9
Verse 9. After this did Sennacherib] Having received the silver and gold mentioned above, he withdrew his army, but shortly after he sent Rab-shakeh with a blasphemous message. This is the fact mentioned here.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem , etc.] Who are mentioned by name, ( 2 Kings 18:17) this was after Hezekiah had given him a large quantity of silver and gold to depart, and he did depart from him, ( 2 Kings 18:14-16) but he himself laid siege against Lachish , and all his power with him; one of the cities of Judah, (see Isaiah 36:2), from hence he dispatched them unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem ; who had retired thither for safety, upon the invasion of their country by the king of Assyria.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-23 - Those who trust God with their safety, must use proper means, else the tempt him. God will provide, but so must we also. Hezekiah gathered his people together, and spake comfortably to them. A believing confidenc in God, will raise us above the prevailing fear of man. Let the goo subjects and soldiers of Jesus Christ, rest upon his word, and boldl say, Since God is for us, who can be against us? By the favour of God enemies are lost, and friends gained.
