Clarke's 2-kings 19:30 Bible Commentary
The remnant - shall yet again take root - As your corn shall take root in the soil, and bring forth and abundantly multiply itself, so shall the Jewish people; the population shall be greatly increased, and the desolations occasioned by the sword soon be forgotten.
Barnes's 2-kings 19:30 Bible Commentary
The remnant that is escaped - Terrible ravages seem to have been committed in the first attack (2 Kings 18:13 note). And though the second invasion was comparatively harmless, yet it probably fell heavily on the cities of the west and the southwest. Thus the "escaped" were but "a remnant."
Bear fruit upward - The flourishing time of Josiah is the special fulfillment of this prophecy 2 Kings 23:15-20.
Wesley's 2-kings 19:30 Bible Commentary
19:30 The remnant, &c. - They shall be well fixt and provided for themselves, and then do good to others.
