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 Isaiah the son of Amoz, the prophet, prayed concerning this. And they cried to the heavens.

21 Then Yahweh sent an angel, and he destroyed every mighty warrior of strength, commander, and officer in the camp of the king of Assyria. And he returned with shamed face to his land and went into the house of his god. And some of the offspring of his loins fell upon him there with the sword.

22 So Yahweh saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib, king of Assyria, and from the all [their enemies], and gave them rest all around.

23 And many brought tribute to Yahweh, to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the eyes of all the nations thereafter.

24 In those days Hezekiah fell ill unto death, and he prayed to Yahweh. And he answered him and gave him a sign.
