Commentary on Isaiah 39:3
Isaiah's questions "What said these men? and from whence came they?" probe the encounter's nature. Hezekiah's answer "From a far country are they come unto me, even from Babylon" seems innocent but reveals the problem—he attributes their coming to himself ("unto me") rather than recognizing geopolitical maneuvering. The prophet's questioning technique draws out the king's error gently, giving opportunity for self-awareness. This demonstrates wise pastoral approach—asking questions rather than immediately condemning.
