• This whole scene ends with the destruction of Shebna, the unfaithful administrator, (the Antichrist); and with the establishment of Eliakim, (Christ), who will in righteousness bear the whole administration of the kingdom of David (Isa. 22:15-25). The first siege of Jerusalem in the last days corresponds to the two events in this chapter, whereas the siege of Jerusalem by Sennacherib under Hezekiah is in fact a picture of the second prophetic siege in which Jerusalem will be spared and her last enemy, the Assyrian, will be destroyed by the Lord's appearing. (“Hezekiah's Three Trials: 2 Chronicles 32” by H.L. Rossier)
• {v.15-19} This thought is emphasized by the episode regarding Shebna and Eliakim, recorded at the end of the chapter. Shebna was a man with much riches passing through his hand, for he was the treasurer. Thus he had distinction in this life, and building for himself “a sepulcher on high,” he desired to perpetuate his memory when his life was over. Self-exaltation was evidently his aim. He was rejected, and God would dispossess him so effectively that the chariots of his glory would turn out to be the shame of his lord’s house, as we see at the end of verse 18. (“Isaiah 22” by F.B. Hole)
