This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ki_19:13 Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah?
Ver. 13. Where is the king of Hamath, &c.?] See 2Ki_18:33. Only there it is gods of those places, and here kings. The heathens commonly called their gods kings - as Fïéâå áíáî, âáóéëåõò áíäñùí ôå èåùí ôå , &c. - and they reckoned, that whatsoever their gods could do, their kings should be sure of. We have not so served the gods, said that Roman emperor, that they should serve us no better than to give the enemy the better of us. {a}
