Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 22. - With their clothes rent. Garments were "rent," not only as a sign of mourning, but whenever persons were shocked or horrified (see Genesis 37:29; 1 Samuel 4:12; 2 Samuel 1:2; Ezra 9:3; 2 Chronicles 34:19; Matthew 26:65). The Jewish officials meant to mark their horror at Rabshakeh's blasphemies.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(22) With their clothes rent.--The act was the natural expression of their horror at the blasphemy of Rabshakeh's words. (Comp. Matthew 26:65; Acts 14:14.) They would not reply to that blasphemy, and trusted to the effect of this silent protest on the minds of the people who had heard it.
