This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Get thee unto this treasurer; which the prophet might boldly do, because he had the protection not only of God, who sent him upon this errand, but probably of Hezekiah also, who at the time of this prophecy was either king, or his father’s viceroy, or at least heir-apparent to the crown.



Shebna; who seems to have been advanced by wicked Ahaz, and to have been a great patron of impiety and injustice in his reign, and by politic compliance with Hezekiah thought to gain his favour, and so to keep his place and power at court.



Over the house; over the house of David, as is more fully expressed below, Isa_22:22. Possibly he was not only the lord treasurer, but also the king’s prime minister of state.
