Isaiah's Message of Deliverance
4Perhaps the LORD your God will hear the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to defy the living God, and He will rebuke him for the words that the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that still survives.” 5So the servants of King Hezekiah went to Isaiah, 6who replied, “Tell your master that this is what the LORD says: ‘Do not be afraid of the words you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.…

So the servants
The term "servants" in this context refers to the officials or messengers of King Hezekiah. In Hebrew, the word used is "עֲבָדִים" (avadim), which can mean servants, attendants, or ministers. This highlights the role of these individuals as those who carry out the king's commands. In the ancient Near Eastern context, servants of a king were often trusted advisors or officials who played crucial roles in the administration and communication of the king's will. Their actions here demonstrate obedience and the importance of seeking divine guidance through the prophet Isaiah.

of King Hezekiah
King Hezekiah was one of the more righteous kings of Judah, known for his faithfulness to God and his efforts to reform the religious practices of his people. His name in Hebrew, "חִזְקִיָּהוּ" (Chizqiyahu), means "Yahweh strengthens," which is fitting given his reliance on God during times of crisis. Historically, Hezekiah reigned during a tumultuous period when the Assyrian Empire was expanding its territory. His leadership and faith are central themes in this narrative, as he seeks divine intervention against the Assyrian threat.

went to Isaiah
Isaiah, whose name in Hebrew is "יְשַׁעְיָהוּ" (Yeshayahu), meaning "Yahweh is salvation," was a major prophet in Judah during the reigns of several kings, including Hezekiah. The act of going to Isaiah signifies seeking God's counsel through His prophet. In the ancient world, prophets were seen as intermediaries between God and His people, providing guidance, warnings, and messages of hope. Isaiah's role in this narrative is pivotal, as he is the conduit through which God communicates His plans and assurances to Hezekiah and the people of Judah. This action underscores the importance of seeking divine wisdom and the belief in God's sovereignty and ability to deliver His people from their adversaries.

(5) So the servants . . .--Literally, And . . . The Authorised Version suggests that there was only one coming of the messengers. Possibly. however, the words imply a withdrawal between the delivery of their message and their coming a second time to receive his answer.
