On hearing this report
This phrase refers to the news King Hezekiah received about the Assyrian threat. The Assyrian army, led by King Sennacherib, had already conquered many cities in Judah and was now threatening Jerusalem. This report would have been alarming, as the Assyrians were known for their military might and brutality. The context is found in the preceding chapters, where the Assyrian Rabshakeh delivers a message of intimidation to Jerusalem.

King Hezekiah
Hezekiah was the 13th king of Judah, known for his faithfulness to God and religious reforms, including the removal of high places and the destruction of idols. His reign is detailed in2 Kings 18-20 and2 Chronicles 29-32. Hezekiah's response to the Assyrian threat is a pivotal moment in his reign, showcasing his reliance on God rather than political alliances or military strength.

tore his clothes
Tearing one's clothes was a traditional expression of grief, distress, or repentance in ancient Israel. This act signified Hezekiah's deep anguish and humility in the face of the Assyrian threat. It is a common biblical motif seen in other instances, such as when Jacob believed Joseph was dead (Genesis 37:34) and when Job faced his trials (Job 1:20).

put on sackcloth
Sackcloth was a coarse material, often made from goat's hair, worn as a sign of mourning or penitence. By donning sackcloth, Hezekiah demonstrated his humility and repentance before God, seeking divine intervention. This act is consistent with other biblical figures who sought God's mercy, such as the people of Nineveh inJonah 3:5-6.

and entered the house of the LORD
The house of the LORD refers to the temple in Jerusalem, the central place of worship for the Israelites. Hezekiah's decision to enter the temple signifies his turning to God in prayer and supplication during a national crisis. This action underscores the importance of seeking God's presence and guidance in times of trouble, as seen in other scriptures likePsalm 27:4-5. The temple was not only a place of sacrifice but also a symbol of God's dwelling among His people, making it the appropriate place for Hezekiah to seek divine help.

What Does Isaiah 37:1 Mean
Hearing the report

“On hearing this report…” (Isaiah 37:1)

• The “report” is the blasphemous message from Sennacherib’s envoy (Isaiah 36:13–20).

• Hezekiah does not debate, plan, or panic—he listens and immediately turns God-ward, echoing Jehoshaphat’s instinct in2 Chronicles 20:3–4.

•2 Kings 19:1 records the same moment, confirming the historicity of the event.

•Psalm 112:7 shows the righteous are “not shaken by bad news”; they respond in faith, exactly as Hezekiah begins to do here.

Tearing his clothes

“…King Hezekiah tore his clothes…”

• Tearing garments was a visible confession of distress and helplessness (Genesis 37:34;Job 1:20).

• It also signaled horror at sin and blasphemy (Acts 14:14;Matthew 26:65). Hezekiah’s action says, “This insult to God grieves me.”

• The king models leadership that starts with personal humility (Proverbs 15:33); authority does not exempt him from repentance.

Putting on sackcloth

“…put on sackcloth…”

• Sackcloth—rough, uncomfortable fabric—symbolized mourning and repentance (Esther 4:1–3;Jonah 3:5–6).

•Isaiah 22:12 connects sackcloth with God’s call to weep and seek Him, underlining that Hezekiah is aligning with God’s heart.

• By exchanging royal robes for sackcloth, the king publicly identifies with his people’s need for mercy (Nehemiah 9:1–3).

Entering the house of the LORD

“…and entered the house of the LORD.”

• Hezekiah heads straight to the temple, the appointed place to meet God (Psalm 27:4;2 Chronicles 29:3).

• Instead of appealing first to foreign allies, he seeks divine intervention, fulfillingPsalm 121:1–2—“My help comes from the LORD.”

•Hebrews 4:16 later echoes this privilege: God’s people may “approach the throne of grace with confidence,” a pattern Hezekiah foreshadows.

• The move from tearing garments to temple worship shows repentance must lead to prayerful dependence, not despair.

summary

Isaiah 37:1 captures a four-step response to crisis: hear the threat, humble yourself, display repentance, and hasten into God’s presence. Hezekiah’s actions teach that genuine faith reacts to danger with contrition and confident prayer, trusting the LORD who rules every nation and every outcome.

XXXVII.

(1)Covered himself with sackcloth.--The king was probably accompanied by his ministers, all in the penitential sackcloth of mourners (Joel 1:8-13;Jonah 3:5-6).

Verse 1. -When King Hezekiah heard it; rather,heard them;i.e. the "words of Rabshakeh," which his officials reported to him.He rent his clothes. He did as they had done (Isaiah 36:22; see the comment on that verse). But he went further, showing a deeper sense of horror and affliction than the officials had shown by being covered with sackcloth (on the combination of the two modes of showing grief or horror, seeGenesis 37:34;2 Samuel 3:31;1 Kings 21:27;Esther 4:1, etc.). And went into the house of the Lord. The temple was not only a place for offering praise and sacrifice, but also a "house of prayer" (infra,Isaiah 56:7; comp.1 Kings 8:28-30). Hezekiah can, on this occasion, have gone up to the house of the Lord only to pray.
