Notes

2 Kings 19:27–28

I know your sitting down: See Psalms 44:21; 94:11.
My hook … and My bit: The Assyrian records describe similar harsh treatment of prisoners. The Lord would treat Sennacherib as he and his ancestors treated those they conquered.

2 Kings 19:21–28

The phrase Virgin Daughter is often used to describe a city or nation (Isaiah 23:12; 37:22; 47:1; Jeremiah 18:13). Here, it means that just as a young woman is saved from danger, God will save Jerusalem. The Lord's response came as a "taunt song," a common ancient Near Eastern literary form that celebrated an enemy's defeat (see Isaiah 14:3–20).
