By this time Israel had been carried away captive. And Sennacherib thought to do the same by Judah. The Holy Ghost hath considered this part of the church’s history so important, as to cause three records to be made of it. In 2Ki 18:19 ; in this place of the Chronicles; and by the prophecy of Isa 36 ; Isa 37 ; Isa 38 ; Isa 39 . Let the Reader remark the mighty contrast between the horrid blasphemy and the impiety of Sennacherib and his army, and the piety and faith of Hezekiah and his people. And let the Reader mark the sequel in the deliverance of his servants, and the total ruin of his foes.
