Isa. 20:1 In the year. 711 b.c. Sargon (II) was king of Assyria, 722–705 b.c. Ashdod. A Philistine city (see 1 Sam. 5:1). The Assyrian defeat of this city was relevant to “Egypt and Cush” (Isa. 20:3) because Ashdod had relied on promises of Egyptian support against Assyrian attack. Egypt did not deliver that support.
Isa. 20:2 naked and barefoot. Like a prisoner of war (see 2 Chron. 28:14–15). The prophets at times acted out their messages with dramatic behavior (compare 1 Kings 18; Jeremiah 19; Ezek. 3:22–5:17; 24:15–27).
