2 Kings 19:26 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Therefore; because I had armed thee with my commission and strength, and taken away their spirit and courage, and withdrew my help from them to give it to thee. Their inhabitants; the people of Israel, and Judah, and other places which thou hast conquered. As the grass of the field; which is weak and quickly fading, and unable to resist any hand or instrument which offers violence to it. As corn blasted before it be grown up, i.e. all their designs and hopes were disappointed before they could come to any perfection or success.

2 Kings 19:26

26 Therefore their inhabitants were of smalle power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
