How preachers through history handled this text

7 public-domain excerpts on 2 Kings 19, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Matthew Henry 5 Alexander MacLaren 1 John Wesley 1

“All Sennacherib's motions were under the Divine cognizance. God himself undertakes to defend the city; and that person, that place, cannot but be safe, which he undertakes to protect. The invasion of the Assyrians probably had prevented the land from being sown that year. The next is supposed to have been the sabbatical year, but the Lord engaged that the produce of the land should be sufficient for their support during those two years. …”

— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on 2 Kings 19:20–34 (Public Domain)
