Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Kings 19:31
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Kings 19:31
A remnant; that handful of Jews who now were gathered together, and shut up in Jerusalem, shall go out to their several habitations, and by my singular blessing increase exceedingly. They that escape out of Mount Zion; the same thing expressed in other words, which is usual in the Hebrew language. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this: although when you reflect upon yourselves, and consider either your present fewness and weakness, or your great unworthiness, this may seem too great a blessing for you to expect or believe; yet God will do it from the zeal which he hath, both for his own name, to vindicate it from the blasphemous reproaches of the Assyrians, and for the good of his undeserving people.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Kings 19:31
2 Kings 19:31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD [of hosts] shall do this.Ver. 31. And out of Jerusalem shall go forth.] Those that are now cooped and pent up in the besieged city, shall freely and fearlessly walk whither they please. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this.] Nimius amor, the very much love, the free grace of our good God shall effect it, and not their own merits, as Lyra well noteth. O nimium dilecte Deo. - Vat.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 19:31
(31)A remnant.—Isaiah’s favourite doctrine of the remnant (Isaiah 4:2-3; Isaiah 10:20-21). They that escape.—A survival.Out of Jerusalem.—The ravaged land was to be newly stocked from thence. The zeal (jealousy) of the Lord of hosts shall do this.—Another of the phrases of Isaiah. (See Isaiah 10:7.) (The word hosts, wanting in the common Hebrew text, is found in many MSS., and all the versions).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Kings 19:31
Verse 31. Out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant] The Jews shall be so multiplied as not only to fill Jerusalem, but all the adjacent country. And they that escape out of Mount Zion] Some think that this refers to the going forth of the apostles to the Gentile world, and converting the nations by the preaching of the Gospel.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 19:31
31. And they that escape out of mount Zion] R.V. And out of mount Zion they that shall escape. The change of order, as well as the change of tense, makes the sense more clear, and improves the parallelism. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do [R.V. perform] this] In the Massoretic text there is a space left without consonants for the words in italics, and the vowel-points only are written there. The complete text exists in Isaiah, and ought to be here, but because in the early authoritative copies it did not occur, it has been continually left out. The R.V., which translates the Kethib, omits the italics.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Kings 19:31
31. For — The blessings of Judah mentioned above are based on still deeper reasons. Out of Jerusalem… out of mount Zion — This holy city and this sacred mountain were the divinely chosen centre of the kingdom of God.
