2 Kings 19

All the people fell on their faces, and said, The Lord he is the God! The Lord he is the God! Indeed, we acknowledge God to be the only God (2 Kings 19:15). O Lord God of Israel, which dwells between the Cherubims, you are the God, even you alone.

He is jealous for his spouse, therefore will be avenged on them who go to wrong her (Isaiah 42:13). The Lord shall stir up jealousy like a man of war; he shall roar, he shall prevail against his enemies. What is done to the saints, God takes as done to himself (2 Kings 19:22), a…

2. A strong guard. One angel in a night slew a hundred and eighty-five thousand, (2 Kings 19:32). If one angel slew so many, what would an army of angels have done?

An angel destroyed the firstborn of Egypt in one night. In the host of Sennacherib one angel slew in one night a hundred fourscore and five thousand men (2 Kings 19:35). Of like power is the devil himself to shake the earth, and to destroy us all, but that God of his goodness li…

What is done to the righteous, is done to God himself. When the king's favorite is struck at, the king himself is struck at (2 Kings 19:22). I know your rage against me: The rage of Sennacherib was against the person of Hezekiah, but (there being a league between God and his peo…

And (Psalm 5:2) Listen to my voice, my King, and my God. (2 Kings 19:19) Now therefore, O Lord our God, I ask you to save us out of his hand. Ezra bases his prayer on this (Ezra 9:6): O my God, I am ashamed and blush.

This is [reconstructed: the estate] of them all, so far as we are without Christ, we are without life; no Christ, no life. It is with the sons of men in this kind (that I may so speak) as it was with the soldiers (2 Kings 19:35), they were all dead corpses: truly, that is the ca…

Let not God speak to us lest we die. Elijah wrapped his face in a mantle, when God appeared to him (2 Kings 19:13). When Christ appeared to Paul from Heaven, he trembled and was astonished, and was three days without sight, as you may see (Acts 9:9); there was a special reason,…

Angels defend us against enemies (Psalm 34:7), The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. (2 Kings 19:35) The Angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand. An Angel opened the…

We must resort to the history for the better understanding of this: for when Sennacherib came with violence against Judah, God arrested him by the way, and sent him to fight with others; so as he was constrained to turn back his forces. And thus the Egyptians and the Ethiopians…

“Lors que le Roy Sennacherib fut contreint de lever le siege de de-rant, et s'enfuir honteusement.” — “When King Sennacherib was compelled to raise the siege, and to fly disgracefully.” (2 Kings 19:36) Certainly, it is evident from the context, that the prophet looks much farthe…

And for this end and purpose it is, that the Holy Ghost has affixed those notes of attention to the narratives of the works of Providence in Scripture: all which do invite and call men to a due and deep observation of them. So in that great and celebrated work of Providence, in…

Can I ever be in more need of an almighty help, than when I was struggling to get into the world? There is more of the power of God put forth in bringing a poor infant into the world, than in bringing him out of any trouble or strait he can fall into, in his travels through the…

1 Samuel 17:26, 36. 2 Kings 19:4, 16. Daniel 6:26.

If we pray heartily that God's name may be hallowed, as we should do every day, we should grieve heartily that his name is dishonored, as we see it is every day. And our resentments of the reproach cast upon God and religion, we should make a humble and pious remonstrance of bef…

This is truly a worthy example, in which as in a mirror we may observe what is fitting for us. Likewise we read that Hezekiah became a suppliant with these words to obtain grace and mercy from God, 2 Kings 19:16: 'Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear; open your eyes, O Lord, and s…

Objection: But this Covenant is made to, and with David, that Solomon, and one of David's line, shall sit upon David's Throne, until the Messiah, the true beloved shall be born (2 Samuel 7:12-13). Answer: It is true, and although these of David's line sinned, yet by virtue of th…
