King James Translators' Notes

precious things: or, spicery

armour: or, jewels: Heb. vessels, or, instruments

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

2. glad-It was not the mere act, but the spirit of it, which provoked God (2Ch 32:25), "Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him, for his heart was lifted up"; also compare 2Ch 32:31. God "tries" His people at different times by different ways, bringing out "all that is in their heart," to show them its varied corruptions. Compare David in a similar case (1Ch 21:1-8).

precious things-rather, "the house of his (aromatic) spices"; from a Hebrew root, to "break to pieces," as is done to aromatics.

silver . gold-partly obtained from the Assyrian camp (Isa 33:4); partly from presents (2Ch 32:23, 27-29).

precious ointment-used for anointing kings and priests.

armour-or else vessels in general; the parallel passage (2Ch 32:27), "treasuries . for shields," favors English Version. His arsenal.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

39:1-8 This chapter is the same as 2Ki 20:12-19.


2 Kings 18:15 Hezekiah gave him all the silver which was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasuries of the king's house.
2 Kings 18:16 At that time Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the doorposts which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
2 Chronicles 32:25 But Hezekiah gave no return for the benefit he received, because his heart was proud; therefore wrath came on him and on Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles 32:31 Even in the matter of the envoys of the rulers of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that had happened in the land, God left him alone only to test him, that He might know all that was in his heart.
Job 31:25 If I have gloated because my wealth was great, And because my hand had secured so much; (NASB ©1995)
