Isaiah 38:6

6 I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city." '

Isaiah 38:6 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 38:6

And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the
king of Assyria
So that it seems that Hezekiah's sickness was while the king of Assyria was near the city of Jerusalem, and about to besiege it, and before the destruction of the Assyrian army; unless this is said to secure Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from all fears of a return of that king, to give them fresh trouble: and I will defend this city;
from the present siege laid to it, ruin threatened it, or from any attack upon it, by the Assyrian monarch.

Isaiah 38:6 In-Context

4 And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying,
5 "Go and tell Hezekiah, 'Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: "I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will add to your days fifteen years.
6 I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city." '
7 And this is the sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing which He has spoken:
8 Behold, I will bring the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down with the sun on the sundial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward." So the sun returned ten degrees on the dial by which it had gone down.
