and fought against them.

Isaiah 56:11

they are never full. 3 

They are shepherds who have no understanding;

they all go their own way,

each one looking for monetary gain. 4 

Isaiah 37:38

37:38 One day, 5  as he was worshiping 6  in the temple of his god Nisroch, 7  his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword. 8  They ran away to the land of Ararat; his son Esarhaddon replaced him as king.

1 tn Or “grieved, hurt the feelings of.”

2 sn The phrase “holy Spirit” occurs in the OT only here (in v. 11 as well) and in Ps 51:11 (51:13 HT), where it is associated with the divine presence.

3 sn The phrase never full alludes to the greed of the leaders.

4 tn Heb “for his gain from his end.”

5 sn The assassination of King Sennacherib probably took place in 681 b.c.

6 tn The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

7 sn No such Mesopotamian god is presently known. Perhaps the name Nisroch is a corruption of Nusku.

8 sn Extra-biblical sources also mention the assassination of Sennacherib, though they refer to only one assassin. See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 239-40.
