Context of 2 Chronicles 29:8
6For our fathers have been unfaithful and have done evil in the sight of the Lord our God, and have forsaken Him and turned their faces away from the dwelling place of the Lord, and have turned their backs. 7They have also shut the doors of the porch and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense or offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel. Therefore the wrath of the Lord was against Judah and Jerusalem, and He has made them an object of terror, of horror, and of hissing, as you see with your own eyes. 9For behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this. 10Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that His burning anger may turn away from us.

Commentaries on 2 Chronicles 29:8
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 8He hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment - He probably refers here chiefly to that dreadful defeat by the Israelites in which a hundred and twenty thousand were slain, and two hundred thousand taken prisoners; see the preceding chapter, 2 Chronicles 28:6-8; (note).Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 8He hath delivered them to hissing - See 1 Kings 9:8 note.

In Jeremiah the phrase becomes common (marginal references).Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 5-11Hezekiah's speech used words common during exile to describe the nation's failure. Like during Rehoboam's separation (2 Chronicles 12:1; see 13:10), the people were unfaithful when they abandoned the Lord.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 8-98-9. Wherefore the wrath of the Lord was upon Judah and Jerusalem--This pious king had the discernment to ascribe all the national calamities that had befallen the kingdom to the true cause, namely, apostasy from God.
