Isaiah 39
Concise Complete
Hezekiah shows his treasures to the ambassadors from Babylon, His death.
The king of Babylon was at this time independent of the king of Assyria, though
shortly after subdued by him. Hezekiah showed his treasures and armour, and
other proofs of his wealth and power. This was the effect of pride and
ostentation, and departing from simple reliance on God. He also seems to have
missed the opportunity of speaking to the Chaldeans, about Him who had wrought
the miracles which excited their attention, and of pointing out to them the
absurdity and evil of idolatry. What is more common than to show our friends our
houses and possessions? But if we do this in the pride of ours hearts, to gain
applause from men, not giving praise to God, it becomes sin in us, as it did in
Hezekiah. We may expect vexation from every object with which we are unduly
pleased. Isaiah, who had often been Hezekiah's comforter, is now is reprover.
The blessed Spirit is both,
John 16:7,8. Ministers
must be both, as there is occasion. Hezekiah allowed the justice of the
sentence, and God's goodness in the respite. Yet the prospect respecting his
family and nation must have given him many painful feelings. Hezekiah was indeed
humbled for the pride of his heart. And blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord; for they rest from their labours, and their works do follow them.
