So the LORD saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem
This phrase highlights God's direct intervention in the affairs of Judah. Hezekiah, the king of Judah, was known for his faithfulness to God, as seen in his reforms and efforts to restore proper worship (2 Chronicles 29-31). The deliverance from Assyria is a testament to God's faithfulness to those who trust in Him. This event is also recorded in 2 Kings 19 and Isaiah 37, where God promises to defend the city for His own sake and for the sake of David, His servant. The salvation of Jerusalem is a type of Christ's ultimate salvation of His people, emphasizing divine deliverance from overwhelming threats.

from the hands of King Sennacherib of Assyria
Sennacherib was a powerful Assyrian king known for his military campaigns and conquests. The Assyrian Empire was the dominant power in the Near East during this period, and its capital was Nineveh. Sennacherib's invasion of Judah is historically documented in Assyrian records, including the famous Taylor Prism, which corroborates the biblical account of his campaign. The phrase underscores the might of the Assyrian threat and the miraculous nature of Judah's deliverance. This event demonstrates God's sovereignty over even the most formidable earthly powers.

and all others
This phrase indicates that the threat was not only from Assyria but potentially from other surrounding nations or internal threats. It suggests a comprehensive deliverance, where God protected Judah from multiple dangers. This can be seen as a fulfillment of God's promises to protect His people when they are faithful to Him, as outlined in Deuteronomy 28. It also reflects the broader biblical theme of God as a refuge and fortress for His people (Psalm 46:1).

and He gave them rest on every side
The concept of "rest" in the Old Testament often signifies peace and security, a cessation from warfare and conflict. This rest is reminiscent of the peace that Israel experienced under King Solomon (1 Kings 4:24-25) and is a foretaste of the ultimate rest promised in the Messianic age (Hebrews 4:9-10). The phrase implies a period of stability and prosperity for Judah following the Assyrian threat, highlighting God's provision and care for His people. It also serves as a reminder of the peace that comes from trusting in God's protection and sovereignty.

Teaching Points
Trust in God's Deliverance
Hezekiah's reliance on God during a crisis is a model for believers. In times of trouble, we should turn to God in prayer and trust His power to save.

God's Sovereignty Over Nations
The defeat of Sennacherib illustrates that no earthly power can thwart God's plans. Believers can find peace knowing that God is in control of world events.

The Power of Prayer
Hezekiah's prayer was instrumental in the deliverance of Jerusalem. This underscores the importance of prayer in seeking God's intervention in our lives.

Rest in God's Provision
The rest given to Jerusalem after the siege is a reminder that God not only delivers but also provides peace. We can find rest in God's promises and faithfulness.

God's Faithfulness to His People
The deliverance of Jerusalem is a testament to God's covenant faithfulness. Believers can be assured that God remains faithful to His promises.(22) Thus.--And. The whole verse is the chronicler's own comment on the preceding narrative. (Comp. 2Kings 18:7.)

The hand of all.--Some MSS. appropriately add his enemies, an expression which may have fallen out of the text.

And guided them on every side (round about).--A somewhat unusual phrase. The conjecture, "and gave them rest round about (wayy?nah I?hem for wayy?nah?l?m), appears correct. (See 2Chronicles 14:6; 2Chronicles 15:15; 2Chronicles 20:30; 1Chronicles 22:18.) So the LXX. and Vulg. . . .

Verse 22. - This verse, with the notification of Hezekiah's great deliverance from the hand of the King of Assyria, summarizes also his various other deliverances, with tacit reference to such suggestion of other conflicts as we have in 2 Kings 18:7, 8. Guided them on every side. The Septuagint reads, gave them rest. This suits the connection as regards meaning best, and also as regards the immediately following adverb, "on every side." It has also in our present book the correspondences of ch. 14:6; 15:15; and especially 2 Chronicles 20:30, with the Hebrew words of which, an easily supposed rectification brings it into exact agreement.
