Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Kings 18:18

_ _ when they had called to the king — Hezekiah did not make a personal appearance, but commissioned his three principal ministers to meet the Assyrian deputies at a conference outside the city walls.

_ _ Eliakim — lately promoted to be master of the royal household (Isaiah 22:20).

_ _ Shebna — removed for his pride and presumption (Isaiah 22:15) from that office, though still royal secretary.

_ _ Joah ... the recorder — that is, the keeper of the chronicles, an important office in Eastern countries.
