Commentary on Isaiah 37:2
Hezekiah sending officials "covered with sackcloth" to Isaiah demonstrates proper spiritual priorities in crisis—seeking prophetic counsel before political solutions. Sackcloth symbolized mourning, repentance, and humility before God. The king includes both civil officials (Eliakim, Shebna) and priests, showing unity between governmental and religious leadership. Consulting Isaiah acknowledges that this is fundamentally a spiritual crisis requiring divine intervention, not merely a political problem needing diplomatic solutions.
