Repetition

A word recurs within this verse — often emphatic in Hebrew:

  • בֵית house H1004 ×2

Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 22 words from the Hebrew and 23 from the Septuagint (LXX English) — closely comparable.

A rough comparison of the two English renderings, which tokenize alike — not a word-level alignment.

Word counts can differ between the Hebrew and the Greek without any difference in meaning — e.g. the Hebrew direct-object marker אֵת has no separate Greek word, and Greek often adds the article ὁ.

In the original languages it is 11 Hebrew tokens and 17 Greek tokens — but the two are counted differently (Hebrew bundles its prefixes and suffixes into one token; the Greek is in lemma form), so that isn’t a like-for-like length.

Targum (Aramaic paraphrase)

The Targum is the ancient Jewish Aramaic paraphrase of the Hebrew Scriptures — an interpretive translation, not the Hebrew text itself. Onkelos (literal) and Pseudo-Jonathan (expansive) render the Torah, and Jonathan the Prophets. Coverage is partial: where no permissively-licensed English translation exists for a verse, only the Aramaic is shown. This is verse-level text, not a word-by-word alignment to the Hebrew.

Commentary

Notes on 2 Kings 18:15 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.

18:15-16 Hezekiah paid a heavy price for refusing to pay tribute money to the king of Assyria. Now, to satisfy Sennacherib’s demands he emptied the silver and gold from the Temple and the palace treasury (cp. 2 Chr 16:1-9).

15. all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord] The like emptying of the treasuries both of the temple and of the king had been made a very few years before (2Ki_16:8) by Ahaz to purchase the alliance of Tiglath-pileser against Pekah and Rezin.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible

Daniel D. Whedon

15. All the silver… in the house of the Lord, and… king’s house — Again and again had the treasuries of Jerusalem been emptied to pay similar exactions, (compare 2Ki_12:18; 2Ki_16:8,) but various wars of conquest had enabled successive kings to replenish them again; many presents were, also, brought from various quarters and deposited with the king. Comp. 2Ch_32:23; 2Ch_32:27.

The Pulpit Commentary

And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king"s house. Ahaz had exhausted both these stores of wealth about thirty years previously, (2Ki_16:8) and there could not have been very much accumulation since. Hence the stripping of the metal-plating from off the temple doors (see the next verse).

Discussion questions

  2. How does 1 Kings 15:18–19, which shares this passage’s theme, read alongside this verse?
  3. What does the repetition of “house” (2× in this one verse) do in this verse?
  4. These translations render this verse differently; the difference is in the English rendering, not the original. What questions does that raise?
  5. «וַיִּתֵּן֙» is a Qal Sequential Imperfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
  6. Compare how Trapp's Complete Commentary and Tyndale Open Study Notes read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
