Isaiah 22:15-25 The Mayordomo of the King's Household
Submitted by admin on Sun, 2008-08-10 00:14. :: major prophets
Isaiah 22:15-25 is easily distinguished from the surrounding oracles. Isaiah 23:1 begins with the title "Oracle over Tyre" while Isaiah 22:14 is the end of an oracle about a Valley called "of Vision" (Hinnom valley?) and a treachery that occurred there, of a king who did not heed Yahweh. Internally, Isaiah 22:15-25 has a literary cohesion marked by a movement of demotion (15-18), a movement of promotion (19-24) which is followed by the movement of fall (25). The whole of the section is dominated by what happens to two named persons, Shebna and Eliakim.
