By the way that he came – i. e., through the low country of the Shephelah, thus avoiding not only Jerusalem, but even Judaea.

Verse 33. By the way that he came] Though his army shall not return, yet he shall return to Assyria; for because of his blasphemy he is reserved for a more ignominious death.

Whereas he expected to devour the kingdom of Judah at one morsel, and then to proceed further, and to conquer Egypt or other neighbouring countries; and as it is said of him, and concerning this very time and design, Isa 10:7, to cut off nations not a few, he shall meet with so sad a disappointment and rebuke here, that he shall make haste to return with shame to his own country.

33. shall not come into thiscitynor approach near enough to shoot an arrow, not even fromthe most powerful engine which throws missiles to the greatestdistance, nor shall he occupy any part of the ground before the cityby a fence, a mantelet, or covering for men employed in a siege, norcast (raise) a bank (mound) of earth, overtopping the city walls,whence he may see and command the interior of the city. None ofthese, which were the principal modes of attack followed in ancientmilitary art, should Sennacherib be permitted to adopt. Though thearmy under Rab-shakeh marched towards Jerusalem and encamped at alittle distance with a view to blockade it, they delayed laying siegeto it, probably waiting till the king, having taken Lachish andLibnah, should bring up his detachment, that with all the combinedforces of Assyria they might invest the capital. So determined wasthis invader to conquer Judah and the neighboring countries (Isa10:7), that nothing but a divine interposition could have savedJerusalem. It might be supposed that the powerful monarch who overranPalestine and carried away the tribes of Israel, would leavememorials of his deeds on sculptured slabs, or votive bulls. A longand minute account of this expedition is contained in the Annals ofSennacherib, a translation of which has recently been made intoEnglish, and, in his remarks upon it, COLONELRAWLINSON says theAssyrian version confirms the most important features of theScripture account. The Jewish and Assyrian narratives of the campaignare, indeed, on the whole, strikingly illustrative of each other[Outlines of Assyrian History].

2Ki 19:33-34. By the same shall he return Whereas he expected to devour the kingdom of Judah at one morsel, and then to proceed farther and conquer Egypt, and other neighbouring countries; and to cut off nations not a few, as is said of him concerning this very time and design, (Isa 10:7,) he shall meet with so sad a disappointment and rebuke here, that he shall make haste to return with shame to his own country. For my servant Davids sake For my promise and covenants sake made with David, concerning the stability and eternity of his kingdom, 1Ki 11:12-13. It must be remembered, that all the promises made to David were made to him in Christ: he and his kingdom were types of the kingdom of Christ. It is to this, and not to the personal merits of David, that the sacred writer here alludes.
