Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 17. - Then sent the king an answer. The complaint made was of such importance that an answer was returned without delay. It was addressed both to Rehum and Shimshai, since they were independent authorities.. Peace, and at such a time. "Peace" (sheldm) is the ordinary Oriental salutation. The other word, uk'eth, is taken by our translators to refer to the date; but it really means, like uk'eneth (ver. 10), "and so forth," or "et cetera."

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) Peace, and at such a time.--Salutation, and so forth. The account of the reply and the beginning of it are strangely blended, as before.
