Assyria proper, now Kourdistan, was bounded by Armenia on the north, Media and Persia on the east, Babylonia on the south, and the Tigris, which divides it from Mesopotamia, on the west, between 33° and 38° N. lat. and 42° and 46° E. long. But the Assyrian empire, the bounds of which were different at different times, in its most flourishing state, according to the descriptions of the Greek and Roman writers, comprehended all the countries and nations between the Mediterranean on the west, and the Indus on the east, and between the deserts of Scythia on the north, and the Indian ocean on the south. - What. * 2Ki 18:5,19-37; 19:10 2Ch 32:7-10,14-16 Ps 42:3,10; 71:10,11 VERSE 5 - vain words.

Calmet is of opinion that Sepharvaim was the capital of the Saspires, who, according to Herodotus, were the only people that inhabited between the Colchians and Medes; and probably the Sarapases, whom Strabo places in Armenia. Hiller considers the name as denoting Sephar of the Parvaim, i.e., Mount Sephar adjacent to the regions of Arabia called Parvaim. But it is more probable, as Wells and others suppose, that Sepharvaim is the [ ,] Sipphara, of Ptolemy, the [ ,] the city of the Sippareni, mentioned by Abydenus, and probably the Hipparenum of Pliny, a city of Mesopotamia, situated upon the Euphrates, near where it is divided into two arms, by one of which, it is probable, it was divided into two parts. * 2Ki 17:24 - and have. * Isa 10:10,11 2Ki 17:5-7; 18:10-12 VERSE 20 - that the Lord. * Isa 37:18,19,23-29; 45:16,17 Ex 5:2 2Ki 19:22-37 2Ch 32:15,19 * Job 15:25,26; 40:9-12 Ps 50:21; 73:9 Da 3:15 VERSE 21 * 2Ki 18:26,37 Ps 38:13-15; 39:1 Pr 9:7; 26:4 Am 5:13 Mt 7:6 VERSE 22 - Eliakim. * :3,11 - with their. * Isa 33:7; 37:1,2 2Ki 5:7 Ezr 9:3 Mt 26:65 The history of the invasion of Sennacherib, observes Bp. Lowth, and the miraculous destruction of his army, which makes the subject of so many of Isaiah's prophecies, is very properly inserted here, as affording the best light to many parts of these prophecies; and as almost necessary to introduce the prophecy in the 37th chapter, being the answer of God to Hezekiah's prayer, which could not be properly understood without it. Sennacherib succeeded his father Shalmaneser on the throne of Assyria, A.M. 3290, B.C. 714, and reigned only about eight years. GOTO NEXT CHAPTER - TSK INDEX & SEARCH
