2 Chronicles 32:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 32:20

And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah,
the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.
] To God in heaven; of the prayer of Hezekiah on this account, see ( Isaiah 37:15-20 ) , and the notes there; (See Gill on Isaiah 37:15) (See Gill on Isaiah 37:16) (See Gill on Isaiah 37:17) (See Gill on Isaiah 37:18) (See Gill on Isaiah 37:19) (See Gill on Isaiah 37:20)

and though we read not of the prayer of Isaiah, no doubt he made one, as Hezekiah desired, and since he received a message from the Lord, which he sent to Hezekiah, ( Isaiah 37:4 Isaiah 37:21 ) .

18 Then they called out loudly in Hebrew to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall to frighten and discourage them in order that he might capture the city.

19 They spoke against the God of Jerusalem like they had spoken against the gods of the peoples of the land, which were made by human hands.

20 King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz prayed about this and cried out to heaven,

21 and the Lord sent an angel who annihilated every brave warrior, leader, and commander in the camp of the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria returned with shame to his land. He went to the temple of his god, and there some of his own children cut him down with the sword.

22 So the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the power of King Sennacherib of Assyria and from the power of all others. He gave them rest on every side.
