Commentary
Gill's Exposition
At that time Berodachbaladan,.... He is called Merodachbaladan, Isa 39:1 , so here in the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions; See Gill on Isa 39:1 ; and by Metasthenes (z)
his father is called Merodach, and he Ben Merodach, who reigned twenty one years, and his father fifty two; from hence to the end of Kg2 20:12 the same account is given in the same words as in Isa 39:1 throughout, except in Kg2 20:13 , where it is, "hearkened unto them", and there, "glad of them"; heard the letter the ambassadors brought with pleasure; see the notes there. See Gill on Isa 39:1 and following. (z) Ut supra. (De Judicio Temp. fol. 221. 2.)
