Isaiah 37:1-38

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

EXPOSITION

This chapter is the sequel of the preceding, and is so closely connected with it that the two really constitute but one narrative. Isaiah 37:22 of Isaiah 36:1-22. is more closely connected with Isaiah 37:1-38, than with the position of the narrative to which it is attached.
