SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:9
¶ En el cuarto año del rey Ezequías, que era el año séptimo de Oseas hijo de Ela, rey de Israel, subió Salmanasar rey de los Asirios contra Samaria, y la cercó.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 18:9
Verse 9. In the fourth year] This history has been already given, chap. xvii. 3, &c.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. And it came to pass in the fourth year of King Hezekiah , etc.] In the beginning of it: which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel : the beginning of his seventh: that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it ; (see 2 Kings 17:5).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-16 - The descent Sennacherib made upon Judah, was a great calamity to tha kingdom, by which God would try the faith of Hezekiah, and chastise the people. The secret dislike, the hypocrisy, and lukewarmness of numbers require correction; such trials purify the faith and hope of the upright, and bring them to simple dependence on God.
