Barnes' Notes on the Bible

On Lachish and Libnah, see Joshua 10:3, note; Joshua 10:29, note. The phrase, "he was departed from Lachish" is suggestive of successful resistance.

Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Libnah - Lachish - These two places were not very distant from each other; they were in the mountains of Judah, southward of Jerusalem.

Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament

In the meantime Rabshakeh had returned to his king at Libnah (see at 2 Kings 8:22), to which he had gone from Lachish, probably after having taken that fortress.

Geneva Study Bible

Wesley's Notes

19:8 Returned - To the king, to give him an account of the treaty; leaving behind him the army under the other commanders.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

2Ki 19:8-13. Sennacherib Sends a Blasphemous Letter to Hezekiah.

8. So Rab-shakeh . found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah-Whether Lachish had fallen or not, is not said. But Sennacherib had transferred his battering-rams against the apparently neighboring fortress of Libnah (Jos 10:29; compare Jos 10:31; 15:42), where the chief-cup-bearer reported the execution of his mission.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

19:8-19 Prayer is the never-failing resource of the tempted Christian, whether struggling with outward difficulties or inward foes. At the mercy-seat of his almighty Friend he opens his heart, spreads his case, like Hezekiah, and makes his appeal. When he can discern that the glory of God is engaged on his side, faith gains the victory, and he rejoices that he shall never be moved. The best pleas in prayer are taken from God's honour.

Joshua 10:29 Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Makkedah to Libnah and attacked it.

2 Kings 8:22 To this day Edom has been in rebellion against Judah. Libnah revolted at the same time.

2 Kings 18:14 So Hezekiah king of Judah sent this message to the king of Assyria at Lachish: "I have done wrong. Withdraw from me, and I will pay whatever you demand of me." The king of Assyria exacted from Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

2 Kings 19:9 Now Sennacherib received a report that Tirhakah, the Cushite king [of Egypt], was marching out to fight against him. So he again sent messengers to Hezekiah with this word:

Asshur Assyria Butlers Chief Commander Departed Ears Fighting Findeth Got Journeyed Lachish Libnah Making Rabshakeh Rab'shakeh Rab-shakeh Returned Turneth War Warring Withdrew
