Contextual Overview

1 And it came to pass, when King Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, - and covered himself with sackcloth, and entered the house of Yahweh; 2 and sent Eliakim who was over the household and Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, - unto Isaiah the prophet, Son of Amoz; 3 and they said unto him, Thus, saith Hezekiah, A day of distress and rebuke and reviling, is this day, - For children are come to the birth, and, strength, is there none to bring forth. 4 It may be, that Yahweh thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh whom the king of Assyria his lord, hath sent to reproach a Living God, and will rebuke the words which Yahweh thy God hath heard, - Wherefore lift thou up a prayer, for the remnant that remaineth. 5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came unto Isaiah. 6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus, shall ye, surely say, unto your lord, - Thus, saith Yahweh - Be not thou afraid because of the words which thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have reviled, Me. 7 Behold me! about to let go against him a blast of alarm, and when he heareth the report, then will lie return to his own country, - and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Isaiah said unto them, thus shall you say unto your master,.... Or, "your lord" q; King Hezekiah, whose ministers and messengers they were:

thus saith the Lord, be not afraid of the words thou hast heard; be not not terrified by them, they are but words, and no more, and will never become facts:

wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me; by representing him as no better than the gods of the Gentiles, and as unable to deliver out of the hands of the king of Assyria the city of Jerusalem, when he had said he would. The word r for "servants" signifies boys, lads, young men; so Rabshakeh and his two companions, Rabsaris and Tartan, are called, by way of contempt, they acting a weak and childish part as well as a wicked one.

q אל אדניכם "ad dominum vestrum", Montanus. r נערי "pueri recens nati, infantes, pueri judicio", Gusset.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Wherewith the servants ... - Hebrew, נערי na‛ărēy - The ‘youth,’ or the young men. The word properly denotes boys, youths, young men; and is used here probably by way of disparagement, in contradistinction from an embassy that would be truly respectable, made up of aged men.

Have blasphemed me - God regarded these words as spoken against himself and he would vindicate his own honor and name.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Isaiah 37:6. Thus shall ye say — כה תאמרון ko tomerun, "thus shall ye (explicitly, earnestly, and positively) say." The paragogic ×  nun deepens and increases the sense.
