On that day
This phrase often signifies a specific time of divine intervention or judgment in biblical prophecy. In the context of Isaiah, "that day" refers to a moment when God will act decisively to bring about His purposes. It is a reminder of God's sovereignty over time and history, emphasizing that He has appointed times for His plans to unfold. The phrase encourages believers to trust in God's perfect timing and His ultimate control over the events of the world.

I will summon
The act of summoning indicates a direct and authoritative call from God. In Hebrew, the word used here can imply a calling forth or commissioning for a specific purpose. This highlights God's active role in appointing leaders and servants to fulfill His will. It serves as a reminder that God is intimately involved in the affairs of humanity, choosing individuals to carry out His divine plans. Believers are encouraged to be attentive to God's call in their own lives, ready to respond to His summons with obedience and faith.

My servant
The term "servant" in the biblical context often denotes one who is chosen and set apart for a special task or mission. In the Hebrew tradition, being called a servant of God is a title of honor, reflecting a close relationship with the Divine and a commitment to His purposes. This designation underscores the idea of servanthood as a model for leadership, where authority is exercised with humility and dedication to God's will. It challenges believers to embrace a servant-hearted approach in their own lives, seeking to serve God and others selflessly.

Eliakim son of Hilkiah
Eliakim, whose name means "God will establish," is identified as the son of Hilkiah. This specific naming not only provides historical context but also signifies the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative. Eliakim's appointment as a leader is a fulfillment of God's promise to establish His chosen ones in positions of authority. Historically, Eliakim was a faithful steward in the house of David, contrasting with the unfaithful Shebna, whom he replaced. This highlights the theme of divine justice and the elevation of the righteous. For believers, Eliakim's account serves as an inspiration to remain faithful and trustworthy, knowing that God honors those who walk in integrity and righteousness.

(20) Eliakim the son of Hilkiah.--Nothing is known of Eliakim's previous history, but the epithet, "my servant," bears witness to his faith and goodness; and we may well believe him to have been in heart, if not openly, one of Isaiah's disciples. He was apparently, at the time, in some subordinate office.

Verse 20. - In that day. In the day of Shebna's deposition from his office of prefect of the palace. My servant Eliakim. On the dignity of this title, when given by God himself, see the comment on Isaiah 20:3.
