Matthew Henry on 2 Kings 18:9-16

Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · Matthew Henry · CC0 1.0 Universal

The descent Sennacherib made upon Judah, was a great calamity to that 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.
