Isaiah 37:9
_ _ Tirhakah — (See on Isaiah 17:12; see on Isaiah 18:6). Egypt was in part governed by three successive Ethiopian monarchs, for forty or fifty years: Sabacho, Sevechus, and Tirhakah. Sevechus retired from Lower Egypt owing to the resistance of the priests, whereupon Sethos, a prince-priest, obtained supreme power with Tanis (Zoan in Scripture), or Memphis, as his capital. The Ethiopians retained Upper Egypt under Tirhakah, with Thebes as the capital. Tirhakah’s fame as a conqueror rivaled that of Sesostris; he, and one at least, of the Pharaohs of Lower Egypt, were Hezekiah’s allies against Assyria. The tidings of his approach made Sennacherib the more anxious to get possession of Jerusalem before his arrival.
_ _ sent — 2 Kings 19:9 more fully expresses Sennacherib’s eagerness by adding “again.” |
- he heard:
1 Samuel 23:27-28 But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land. ... Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth.

- Ethiopia:
- Cush, which is generally rendered Ethiopia, is applied in Scripture to at least three distinct and different countries.
1. The country watered by the Gihon or Araxes (
Genesis 2:13 And the name of the second river [ is] Gihon: the same [ is] it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
), also called Cuth,
2 Kings 17:30 And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
.
2. A country of Arabia Petrea, bordering upon Egypt, which extended from the northern extremity of the Red sea along its eastern shore. (Compare
Exodus 3:1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, [ even] to Horeb.
with
Numbers 12:1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
and
Habakkuk 3:7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: [ and] the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
).
3. Ethiopia Proper, an extensive country of Africa, comprehending Nubia and Abyssinia; being bounded on the north by Egypt, on the east by the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, and on the south and west by various nations of Africa, and extending from about 6 degrees to 24 degrees n lat. and 25 degrees to 45 degrees e long. It is probable that it was this latter Cush, or Ethiopia, of which Tirhakah was king; he being in league with his kinsman Sevechus, son of So, or Sabacon, king of Egypt, against Sennacherib, the king of Assyria. |
