Berean Study Bible

Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah
The phrase begins with "Then," indicating a sequence of events following Hezekiah's prayer. "Isaiah son of Amoz" identifies the prophet, a key figure in delivering God's messages. Isaiah's role as a prophet is crucial, as he serves as a divine intermediary. Historically, prophets were God's chosen messengers, often tasked with delivering challenging truths. "Sent a message" underscores the importance of communication between God and His people, facilitated by His prophets. "To Hezekiah" highlights the personal nature of God's response, emphasizing that God hears and responds to individual prayers.

saying, 'This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says
"Saying" introduces the divine message, underscoring the authority of the words that follow. "This is what the LORD" asserts the origin of the message, affirming its divine authority. "The LORD" (YHWH) is the covenant name of God, reminding the Israelites of His eternal and unchanging nature. "The God of Israel" emphasizes the special relationship between God and His chosen people, Israel. This phrase reassures Hezekiah and the people of Judah of God's commitment to them, despite the threats they face.

Because you have prayed to Me
"Because" introduces the reason for God's response, highlighting the cause-and-effect relationship between Hezekiah's actions and God's intervention. "You have prayed" emphasizes the power and importance of prayer. Hezekiah's prayer is a model of faith and reliance on God, demonstrating that sincere prayer can move the heart of God. "To Me" underscores the personal nature of prayer, as it is directed to God Himself, not to idols or false gods. This phrase reassures believers that God is attentive to their prayers.

concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria
"Concerning" specifies the subject of Hezekiah's prayer, which is the threat posed by Sennacherib. "Sennacherib king of Assyria" identifies the antagonist, a powerful ruler known for his military conquests. Historically, Assyria was a dominant empire, and Sennacherib's campaign against Judah was a significant threat. This phrase highlights the dire situation faced by Hezekiah and the people of Judah, underscoring the miraculous nature of God's intervention. It serves as a reminder that no earthly power is beyond God's control.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(21) Then Isaiah the son of Amoz . . .--According to the rectified chronology, the grand burst of prophecy which follows was the last of Isaiah's recorded utterances. As such, it will be interesting to note any points of contact that present themselves either with his earlier prophecies or with the great prophetic poem (Isaiah 40-66) traditionally ascribed to him. The prayer of Hezekiah, if he was not present at its utterance, was reported to him, and in the name of Jehovah he was commissioned to reply to it.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 21. - Then Isaiah... sent to Hezekiah, saying. It seems most natural to understand that the prophet was at once supernaturally informed of Hezekiah's prayer, as Ananias was of Saul's (Acts 9:11), and instructed what reply to make to it. But still, it is no doubt possible that some of the facts have been omitted for the sake of brevity.
