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 Then King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz, prayed about this and called to heaven.

21 The LORD sent an angel who exterminated all the soldiers, officials, and commanders in the Assyrian king's camp. Humiliated, Sennacherib returned to his own country. When he went into the temple of his god, some of his own sons killed him with a sword.

22 So the LORD saved Hezekiah and the people living in Jerusalem from King Sennacherib of Assyria and from everyone else. The LORD gave them peace with all their neighbors.

23 Many people still went to Jerusalem to bring gifts to the LORD and expensive presents to King Hezekiah of Judah. From then on, he was considered important by all the nations.

24 In those days Hezekiah became sick and was about to die. He prayed to the LORD, who answered him and gave him a miraculous sign.
