2 Chronicles 32:22 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 32:22

Thus the Lord saved Hezekiah, and the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria
As most clearly appeared; for no stroke was struck but by him:

and from the hand of all other;
the Arabic version adds,

``who were round about them;''

who by this defeat were deterred from attacking them:

and guided them on every side:
and guarded them all around, as a shepherd leads his flock, where they may be secure from all dangers.

2 Chronicles 32:22 In-Context

20 And Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, made prayer because of this, crying out to heaven.

21 And the Lord sent an angel who put to death all the men of war and the chiefs and the captains in the army of the king of Assyria. So he went back to his country in shame. And when he came into the house of his god, his sons, the offspring of his body, put him to death there with the sword.

22 So the Lord gave Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem salvation from the power of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, and from all others, giving them rest on every side.

23 And great numbers came to Jerusalem with offerings for the Lord, and things of great price for Hezekiah, king of Judah: so that he was honoured among all nations from that time.

24 In those days Hezekiah was ill and near death; and he made prayer to the Lord, and the Lord in answer gave him a sign.
