John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
With their clothes rent - This was a common mark of grief among the Jews (see 2Sa 3:21; 1Ki 21:27; Ezr 9:3; Job 1:20; Job 2:12; Jer 36:24; and the notes at Mat 26:65; notes at Act 14:14). The causes of their griefs were the insolence and arrogance of Rabshakeh; the proposal to surrender the city; the threatening of the siege on the one hand, and of the removal on the other, and the blasphemy of the name of their God, and the reproach of the king.
