Sackcloth. Emblems of repentance. Sennacherib’s boasting (ver. 13.) was chastised, ver. 36. (Worthington)

Verse 29

Verse 35
Servant. Hence it plainly appears that God protects the living for the sake of the saints departed. To evade this proof, Protestants (Bible 1603) explain, "for God’s promise sake made to David." But God never made any such promise to him; otherwise the city would never have been destroyed. (Worthington)
Verse 36
They. The people of Jerusalem, or rather the soldiers of Ezechias, who saw those who had been slain, near Pelusium. (Calmet)
