2 Kings 19:28 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Thy tumult, i.e. thy tumultuous noise, thy clamours and blasphemies which Rab-shakeh in thy name beached forth against me with a loud voice, 2 Kings 18:28. My hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips; a metaphor from wild and furious beasts, that must be thus managed. I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest; I will cause thee to return to thy home with shame and loss.

2 Kings 19:28

28 Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
