Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 14. - Behold at evening-tide trouble; rather, terror, as the word is elsewhere always translated (comp. 2 Kings 19:35, "It came to pass that night that the angel of the Lord went out," etc.). He is not (comp. 2 Kings 19:35, "They were all dead corpses"). That spoil us... that rob us (see 2 Kings 18:13-16).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(14) And behold at eveningtide trouble.--The words, though spoken in general terms, received a special fulfilment in the destruction of Sennacherib's army (Isaiah 37:36). Possibly the parallelism they present to Isaiah 17:11 may have led to the insertion of the oracle in this place.
