When King Hezekiah heard this The phrase begins with a focus on King Hezekiah, a significant figure in Judah's history. Hezekiah was a king known for his faithfulness to God, as recorded in 2 Kings 18:5, which states that he trusted in the LORD more than any other king of Judah. The context here is crucial; Hezekiah has just received a report of the Assyrian threat, a dire situation that tested his faith and leadership. The Hebrew root for "heard" (שָׁמַע, shama) implies not just the act of hearing but also understanding and responding. This sets the stage for Hezekiah's reaction, highlighting his awareness and the gravity of the situation. he tore his clothes put on sackcloth and went into the house of the LORD (1) Covered himself with sackcloth.--The king was probably accompanied by his ministers, all in the penitential sackcloth of mourners (Joel 1:8-13; Jonah 3:5-6). Verse 1. - When King Hezekiah heard it; rather, heard them; i.e. the "words of Rabshakeh," which his officials reported to him. He rent his clothes. He did as they had done (Isaiah 36:22; see the comment on that verse). But he went further, showing a deeper sense of horror and affliction than the officials had shown by being covered with sackcloth (on the combination of the two modes of showing grief or horror, see Genesis 37:34; 2 Samuel 3:31; 1 Kings 21:27; Esther 4:1, etc.). And went into the house of the Lord. The temple was not only a place for offering praise and sacrifice, but also a "house of prayer" (infra, Isaiah 56:7; comp. 1 Kings 8:28-30). Hezekiah can, on this occasion, have gone up to the house of the Lord only to pray.Parallel Commentaries ...
