Notes

Isaiah 22:3

Leaders might try to flee, but they would not escape (see 2 Kings 25:4–6).

Isaiah 22:1–4

The prophet scolds the people for celebrating the Assyrian retreat in 701 BC. They did not predict that the Babylonian army would later, in 586 BC, finish what the Assyrians could not: the destruction of Jerusalem.

Isaiah 22:1–25

This message addresses the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem in 701 BC (see Isaiah 36–37; 2 Kings 18:17–19:37). It may also refer to the people's preparation for the later Babylonian siege from 588 to 586 BC.
