Vers. 8. Now therefore giue hosta∣ges to my Lord the King of Ashur, and I will giue thee two thousand hor∣ses, if thou be able for thy part to set riders vpon them.

HIs conclusion is, that Hezekias shall doe best to yeelde himselfe without trying it out by fight, and to promise obedience for euer vnto the Assyrian. Which, that he may the rather perswade him vnto, hee casts his pouertie againe in his teeth. As if hee should say; If I should giue thee two thousand horses, wert thou able to furnish them with sufficient ri∣ders amongst all thy people? For hee offers him not horses by way of honor, or that he meant in good earnest so to doe; but rather to afflict and wound the heart of this good Prince. The clause, I will giue thee, must be thus resol∣ued; Although I should giue thee two thou∣sand horse, yet wert not thou able to finde horsmen enough for them. I am not ignorant what the expositors write vpon this place: but whosoeuer shall consider euery circumstance well, will easilie iudge that this was spoken in contempt.
