Isaiah 37:5

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah. And delivered the above message to him from the king: these servants are mentioned Isa 37:2. Musculus thinks that the third and fourth verses are the words of the king to the messengers, and not of the messengers to the prophet; and that the first clause of the "third" verse should be rendered, "that they might say unto him", &c.

; and having received their instructions, here is an account of their going to the prophet with them, which they delivered to him, and which it was not necessary to repeat.
