1. 2 Kings 18:34

   Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria from my hand?

   ›Commentary on 2 Kings 18:342 voices

   “Where are the gods of Hamath - Sennacherib is greater than any of the gods of the nations. The Assyrians have already overthrown the gods of Hamath, Arpad, Hena, and Ivah; therefore, Jehovah shall be like one of them, and shall not be able to deliver Jerusalem out of the hand of my master. The impudent blasphemy of this speech is without parallel. Hezekiah treated it as he ought: it was not properly against him, but against the Lord; therefore he refers the matter to Jehovah himself, who punishes this blasphemy in the most signal manner.

This was the expected succor which was sneered at by Rab-shakeh as "a bruised reed" (2Ki 18:21).

   “Compare the marginal reference 2Ki 17:24. 2Ki 19:12 refers to former Assyrian successes, 2Ki 19:13 to comparatively recent ones.

3. Isaiah 37:13

   Where are the kings of Hamath, Arpad, Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?’”

   ›Commentary on Isaiah 37:131 voice

   “The king of Hamath - (See the note at Isa 36:19). Hena and Ivah - Hena is mentioned in 2Ki 18:34; 2Ki 19:13. It was evidently in Mesopotamia, and was probably the same which was afterward called Ana, situated near a ford of the Euphrates. The situation of Ivah is not certainly known. It was under the Assyrian dominion, and was one of the places from which colonists were brought to Samaria 2Ki 17:24, 2Ki 17:31. Michaelis supposes that it was between Berytus and Tripoli, but was under the dominion of the Assyrians.
