"When he was in distress, he begged the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And when he was in affliction,.... In prison; however, in fetters; according to the Targum, the Chaldeans made an instrument of brass with holes in it, and put him in
it, and fire about it, something like the brasen bull of Perillus; and the above Arabian writer (k) calls it a tower of brass: he besought the Lord his God; by prayer and supplication: and humbled himself greatly before the Lord God of his fathers; confessing his sins, expressing great sorrow and repentance for them. (k) Abulph. & Suidas, ib. (Hist. Dynast. Dyn. 3. p. 67.)
