By the way that he came, by the same shall he return,.... Without executing his designs on Jerusalem, or other places; he shall lose his labour, and make the best of his way to his own country, without turning to the right or left, in order to disturb other nations, and enlarge his kingdom, being quite dispirited and confounded by what he shall meet with:
and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord; or, unto this city, as before; which is repeated to confirm it, and to show the certainty of it.

Shall go forth a remnant - The word ‘remnant’ means that which is left; and does not of necessity imply that it should be a small portion. No doubt a part of the Jews were destroyed in the invasion of Sennacherib, but the assurance is here given that a portion of them would remain in safety, and that they would constitute that from which the future prosperity of the state would arise.
And they that escape - Margin, ‘The escaping,’ that is, the remnant.

Cheyne renders, "The jealousy of Jehovah-Sabaoth shall perform this;" and he suggestively says, being the affectional manifestation of the Divine holiness, is a "two-edged word," implying the destruction of all that opposes the Divine covenant, and the furtherance of all that promotes it." Zeal also expresses "earnest desire," and that vigorous and persistent activity in which such desire finds expression. In this sense we may treat Jehu"s boast of his "zeal for the Lord." This word seems a favorite one with Isaiah, as applied to Jehovah. He employs it in Isa_9:7 Isa_59:17 Isa_63:15. (see also Eze_5:13) The two sides of it may be illustrated from the narrative of the chapter.
I THE ZEAL OF THE LORD REGARDED AS A SACRED JEALOUSY OF THE DIVINE NAME. AND HONOUR.
II THE ZEAL OF THE LORD REGARDED AS AN EARNESTNESS OF PURPOSE AND ENDEAVOUR, WHICH ASSURES THE DISCOMFITURE OF THE ENEMIES OF HIS PEOPLE.
It is an incentive to trust that we are thus assured that our God wants no rousing to action on our behalf, as does the heathen Baal on Mount Carmel This is our confidence he is jealous for himself and his Word, and therefore is ever working for us. R.T.
