(30) Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord.Hezekiah cannot save you himself (2Ki. 18:29); Jehovah will not do so (2Ki. 18:25). The Jewish colouring of the verse is not apparent to the present writer. If Rab-shakeh could speak Hebrew, he would almost certainly know the name of the god of the Jews; and it was perfectly natural for him to assume that Hezekiah and his prophets would encourage the people to trust in the God who had His sanctuary on Zion, and was bound to defend His own dwelling-place.

Delivered.Rather, given, yielded up.

2Ki 18:30-31. Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord This was high presumption indeed, to endeavour to persuade them not to place their confidence in God, as if his master were stronger than God.
