2 Kings 19:7

Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

Ver. 7. Behold, I will send a blast upon him.] A spirit, some render it. God "maketh his angels spirits." An evil messenger was sent against him, a spirit of trouble, a panic terror; a dreadful sound was in his ears, when his army was slaughtered by an angel.

He shall hear a rumour.] Rumours are not always to be credited, nor always to be condemned. What this rumour was, see 2 Kings 19:9 .
