Beware, lest Hezekiah persuade— Let not Hezekiah seduce you with words of this kind. Vitringa. Agreeably to the opinion of all the Pagan nations, Rabshakeh considers and speaks of Jehovah as the tutelary deity of the Jews: Now, as their tutelary deities had not delivered the cities and nations here mentioned, the Assyrian with a blasphemous insolence infers, that the God of Israel could not deliver Jerusalem out of his hands. See chap. Isaiah 10:9, &c. and Hezekiah's fine answer to this reproach in the 18th and 19th verses of the next chapter.
