_What a comfort is it, that God has a hook in the nose and a bridle in the jaws of all his and our enemies?

Clarke: 2Ki 19:28 - I will put my hook in thy nose

I will put my hook in thy nose - This seems to be an allusion to the method of guiding a buffalo; he has a sort of ring put into his nose, to which a cord or bridle is attached, by which he can be turned to the right, or to the left, or round about, according to the pleasure of his driver.

Poole: 2Ki 19:28 - Thy tumult // My hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips // I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest

Thy tumult i.e. thy tumultuous noise, thy clamours and blasphemies which Rab-shakeh in thy name beached forth against me with a loud voice , 2Ki 18:28 .

My hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips a metaphor from wild and furious beasts, that must be thus managed.

I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest I will cause thee to return to thy home with shame and loss.

Gill: 2Ki 19:1-37 - And it came to pass, when King Hezekiah heard it // that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth

And it came to pass, when King Hezekiah heard it,.... The report of Rabshakeh's speech, recorded in the preceding chapter:

that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth; rent his clothes because of the blasphemy in the speech; and he put on sackcloth, in token of mourning, for the calamities he feared were coming on him and his people: and he went into the house of the Lord; the temple, to pray unto him. The message he sent to Isaiah, with his answer, and the threatening letter of the king of Assyria, Hezekiah's prayer upon it, and the encouraging answer he had from the Lord, with the account of the destruction of the Assyrian army, and the death of Sennacherib, are the same "verbatim" as in Isa 37:1 throughout; and therefore the reader is referred thither for the exposition of them; only would add what Rauwolff ^t observes, that still to this day (1575) there are two great holes to be seen, wherein they flung the dead bodies (of the Assyrian army), one whereof is close by the road towards Bethlehem, the other towards the right hand against old Bethel.
