■ 이사야 39장
1. 그 때에 발라단의 아들 바벨론 왕 므로닥발라단이 히스기야가 병들었다가 나았다 함을 듣고 글과 예물을 보낸지라
At that time Merodach–baladan , the son of Baladan , king of Babylon , sent letters and a present to Hezekiah : for he had heard that he had been sick , and was recovered .
2. 히스기야가 사자를 인하여 기뻐하여 그에게 궁중 보물 곧 은금과 향료와 보배로운 기름과 모든 무기고와 보물고에 있는 것을 다 보였으니 궁중의 소유와 전 국내의 소유를 보이지 아니한 것이 없은지라
And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things , the silver , and the gold , and the spices , and the precious ointment , and all the house of his armour , and all that was found in his treasures : there was nothing in his house , nor in all his dominion , that Hezekiah shewed them not.
3. 이에 선지자 이사야가 히스기야 왕에게 나아와 묻되 그 사람들이 무슨 말을 하였으며 어디서 왕에게 왔나이까 히스기야가 가로되 그들이 원방 곧 바벨론에서 내게 왔나이다
Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah , and said unto him, What said these men ? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said , They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon .
4. 이사야가 가로되 그들이 왕의 궁전에서 무엇을 보았나이까 히스기야가 대답하되 그들이 내 궁전에 있는 것을 다 보았나이다 내 보물은 보이지 아니한 것이 하나도 없나이다
Then said he, What have they seen in thine house ? And Hezekiah answered , All that is in mine house have they seen : there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
5. 이사야가 히스기야에게 이르되 왕은 만군의 여호와의 말씀을 들으소서
Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah , Hear the word of the Lord of hosts :
6. 보라 날이 이르리니 네 집에 있는 모든 소유와 네 열조가 오늘까지 쌓아둔 것이 모두 바벨론으로 옮긴 바 되고 남을 것이 없으리라 여호와의 말이니라
Behold, the days come , that all that is in thine house , and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day , shall be carried to Babylon : nothing shall be left , saith the Lord .
7. 또 네게서 날 자손 중에서 몇이 사로잡혀 바벨론 왕궁의 환관이 되리라 하셨나이다
And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget , shall they take away ; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon .
8. 히스기야가 이사야에게 이르되 당신의 이른바 여호와의 말씀이 좋소이다 또 가로되 나의 생전에는 평안과 견고함이 있으리로다 하니라
Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah , Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken . He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days .

【사39:1 JFB】사39:1-8. Hezekiah's Error in the Display of His Riches to the Babylonian Ambassador.
1. Merodach-baladan—For a hundred fifty years before the overthrow of Nineveh by Cyaxares the Mede, a succession of rulers, mostly viceroys of Assyria, ruled Babylon, from the time of Nabonassar, 747 B.C. That date is called "the Era of Nabonassar." Pul or Phallukha was then expelled, and a new dynasty set up at Nineveh, under Tiglath-pileser. Semiramis, Pul's wife, then retired to Babylon, with Nabonassar, her son, whose advent to the throne of Babylon, after the overthrow of the old line at Nineveh, marked a new era. Sometimes the viceroys of Babylon made themselves, for a time, independent of Assyria; thus Merodach-baladan at this time did so, encouraged by the Assyrian disaster in the Jewish campaign. He had done so before, and was defeated in the first year of Sennacherib's reign, as is recorded in cuneiform characters in that monarchs palace of Koyunjik. Nabopolassar was the first who established, permanently, his independence; his son, Nebuchadnezzar, raised Babylon to the position which Nineveh once occupied; but from the want of stone near the Lower Euphrates, the buildings of Babylon, formed of sun-dried brick, have not stood the wear of ages as Nineveh has.
Merodach—an idol, the same as the god of war and planet Mars (렘50:2). Often kings took their names from their gods, as if peculiarly under their tutelage. So Belshazzar from Bel.
Baladan—means "Bel is his lord." The chronicle of Eusebius contains a fragment of Berosus, stating that Acises, an Assyrian viceroy, usurped the supreme command at Babylon. Merodach- (or Berodach-) baladan murdered him and succeeded to the throne. Sennacherib conquered Merodach-baladan and left Esar-haddon, his son, as governor of Babylon. Merodach-baladan would naturally court the alliance of Hezekiah, who, like himself, had thrown off the yoke of the Assyrian king, and who would be equally glad of the Babylonian alliance against Assyria; hence arose the excessive attention which he paid to the usurper.
sick—An additional reason is given (대하32:31). "The princes of Babylon sent to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land"; namely, the recession of the shadow on Ahaz' sundial; to the Chaldean astronomers, such a fact would be especially interesting, the dial having been invented at Babylon.
【사39:1 CWC】[HISTORICAL PARENTHESIS]
These chapters are a dividing line between what may be called Parts 1 and 2 of this book. They deal with Hezekiah's reign whose history has been considered in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles.
The chapters are not arranged chronologically, as the event of chapter 38, Hezekiah's sickness and recovery, occurred prior to the siege of Sennacherib (cc. 36, 37).
The prophecies preceding these chapters predict the rise of the Assyrian power as the enemy of Judah and God's rod of punishment for them, which were fulfilled in Hezekiah's time; while those following look upon the nation as in captivity to Babylon, the successor to Assyria. It is in connection with Hezekiah's pride (c. 39) that this captivity is first definitely announced.
While the chapters following look upon the nation as already in Babylon, they do so chiefly for the purpose of assuring the faithful remnant of ultimate deliverance not only from the Babylonian captivity, but from all the nations whither the Lord has driven them, in the latter days.
In brief, chapter 36 reveals the Assyrian army before Jerusalem, and the effect upon the Jewish people. Chapter 37 shows the king in supplication to Jehovah with the effect on the invaders.
38 is the story of the king's sickness and healing, in which the prediction of the king's death alarms him because at this time he had no heir. Had he died thus, the messianic hope would have died with him.
In chapter 39 we have the circumstance of Hezekiah's boasting to the Babylonian ambassadors -- exalting himself rather than Jehovah. It is in this connection that the prophecy of Babylonian supremacy is given. This is impressive, when we recall that Babylon had not yet risen into the place of power which was still held by Assyria. Only supernatural power could have revealed this to Isaiah. The reason why these Babylonians visited Jerusalem at this time may have been connected with their subsequent overthrow of that sacred city. Had the king glorified His God instead of himself might not the result have been different?
Questions.
1. To whose history does this parenthesis allude?
2. What is the relation of these chapters to those preceding and following?
3. Have you reviewed the chapters in Kings and Chronicles?
4. Where is Judah supposed to be historically, in the latter part of Isaiah?
5. Why do those later prophecies so regard Judah?
6. Give a brief outline of each chapter of the lesson.
7. What special cause of alarm was there is the announcement of the king's death?
8. What is the supernatural feature about the prophecy of Babylon's supremacy?
INTRODUCTORY TO PART II
The chapters of Part 2 (cc. 40-46), are chiefly millennial, and so different from the prevailing themes preceding, as to raise a query whether they were not written by some other author -- a second, or deutero-Isaiah, as some call him. We do not hold that opinion, the reasons for which are briefly stated in the author's Primers of the Faith.
In Synthetic Bible Studies, it was found convenient to treat this part as a single discourse -- though doubtless, such is not the case in fact. As such its theme may be discovered in verses 1 and 2 of chapter 40 -- "Comfort." The prophet, through the Holy Spirit, sees the nation in the latter days, forgiven and at rest in Judea again. This is the "comfort" he is to minister to the faithful, and in the chapters following the elements of this comfort are explained. Or, to change the figure, on the assumption that the nation shall be forgiven and restored, these chapters reveal the factors or events leading up to that experience and that happy time.
These are in brief, seven:
1. God's providential care for the people of Judah during their scattered condition (see for example, the latter half of c. 40).
2. The work of the Messiah on their behalf, suffering for them first, and triumphing for them afterwards (see cc. 42, 50, but especially 53).
3. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon them (c. 44).
4. The overthrow of Babylon and all Gentile power as opposed to them (cc. 45-48).
5. Their recall to God's service (c. 49).
6. The divine oath concerning their redemption (cc. 54-59).
7. The predicted millennial glory (cc. 60-66).
Another way to treat this part of the book is to sub-divide it again into three sections to which consideration will be given in the lessons following.
【사39:1 MHCC】 This chapter is the same as II Kin. 20:12-19.
【사39:2 JFB】2. glad—It was not the mere act, but the spirit of it, which provoked God (대하32:25), "Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him, for his heart was lifted up"; also compare 대하32:31. God "tries" His people at different times by different ways, bringing out "all that is in their heart," to show them its varied corruptions. Compare David in a similar case (대상21:1-8).
precious things—rather, "the house of his (aromatic) spices"; from a Hebrew root, to "break to pieces," as is done to aromatics.
silver … gold—partly obtained from the Assyrian camp (사33:4); partly from presents (대하32:23, 27-29).
precious ointment—used for anointing kings and priests.
armour—or else vessels in general; the parallel passage (대하32:27), "treasuries … for shields," favors English Version. His arsenal.
【사39:3 JFB】3. What … whence—implying that any proposition coming from the idolatrous enemies of God, with whom Israel was forbidden to form alliance, should have been received with anything but gladness. Reliance on Babylon, rather than on God, was a similar sin to the previous reliance on Egypt (사30:1-31:9).
far country—implying that he had done nothing more than was proper in showing attention to strangers "from a far country."
【사39:4 JFB】4. All—a frank confession of his whole fault; the king submits his conduct to the scrutiny of a subject, because that subject was accredited by God. Contrast Asa (대하16:7-10).
【사39:5 JFB】5. Lord of hosts—who has all thy goods at His disposal.
【사39:6 JFB】6. days come—one hundred twenty years afterwards. This is the first intimation that the Jews would be carried to Babylon—the first designation of their place of punishment. The general prophecy of Moses (레26:33; 신28:64); the more particular one of Ahijah in Jeroboam's time (왕상14:15), "beyond the river"; and of 암5:27, "captivity beyond Damascus"; are now concentrated in this specific one as to "Babylon" (미4:10). It was an exact retribution in kind, that as Babylon had been the instrument of Hezekiah and Judah's sin, so also it should be the instrument of their punishment.
【사39:7 JFB】7. sons … from thee—The sons which Hezekiah (as Josephus tells us) wished to have (see on 사28:3, on "wept sore") will be among the foremost in suffering.
eunuchs—fulfilled (단1:2, 3, 7).
