King James Translators' Notes

pledges: or, hostages

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

8. give pledges-a taunting challenge. Only give the guarantee that you can supply as many as two thousand riders, and I will give thee two thousand horses. But seeing that you have not even this small number (see on [763]Isa 2:7), how can you stand against the hosts of Assyrian cavalry? The Jews tried to supply their weakness in this "arm" from Egypt (Isa 31:1).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

36:1-22:See 2Ki 18:17-37, and the commentary thereon.


Isaiah 36:7 "But if you say to me, 'We trust in the LORD our God,' is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, 'You shall worship before this altar '?
Isaiah 36:9 "How then can you repulse one official of the least of my master's servants and rely on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? (NASB ©1995)
