Isaiah 37:35 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

I will defend this city. Notwithstanding Hezekiah's measures of defense (2 Chronicles 32:3-5), Yahweh was its true defender.

For mine own sake - since Yahweh's name was blasphemed by Sennacherib (Isaiah 37:23).

For my servant David's sake - on account of His promise to David (Psalms 132:17-18), and to Messiah, the heir of David's throne (Isaiah 9:7; Isaiah 11:1).
