22:8-11 The inhabitants of Jerusalem planned for war by counting weapons, checking walls, and preparing a water supply. However, the people did not consider God’s plans (see 13:1–14:23). Although Hezekiah was very prominent in these efforts, the second person verbs are plural. Isaiah was apparently not singling out Hezekiah, as he did Hezekiah’s father Ahaz (7:1-4). 22:8 to the armory: This magnificent building was both an armory and a storage place for valuables (see 39:2; 1 Kgs 7:2-6).
