Isaiah 36:20 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 36:20

Who are they amongst all the gods of these lands, that have
delivered their land out of my hand?
&c.] Not one of them, it is suggested; wherefore then should it be thought practicable, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
thus blasphemously setting the Lord God of Israel upon a level with the fictitious gods of the Gentiles; though these could not, the Lord could, being the Lord God Almighty. If Rabshakeh was an apostate Jew, he must have known better; but the malice of such is usually the greatest.
