Whole Bible (68)Old Testament (1)Individual Books (4)
Verse 6
shall be carried off to Babylon -- This is fulfilled in 2 Kings 24:10-14.
Verse 7
shall be taken -- Hezekiah’s descendant Jehoiachin is taken into exile (see 2 Kings 24:15).
Verse 8
peace and security in my days -- Hezekiah’s selfish resignation shows he did not take to heart his vow to pass on the praise of Yahweh as promised in Isa 38:19. While Hezekiah is one of the good kings in Judah’s history, he fails to pass on piety for Yahweh to his son Manasseh, who leads the people back to idolatry after Hezekiah’s death.
