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 King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz cried out in prayer to heaven about this.

21 And the LORD sent an angel, who annihilated all the fighting men and the commanders and officers in the camp of the Assyrian king. So he withdrew to his own land in disgrace. And when he went into the temple of his god, some of his sons, his own flesh and blood, cut him down with the sword.

22 So the LORD saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria and from the hand of all others. He took care of them on every side.

23 Many brought offerings to Jerusalem for the LORD and valuable gifts for Hezekiah king of Judah. From then on he was highly regarded by all the nations.

24 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. He prayed to the LORD, who answered him and gave him a miraculous sign.
