Isaiah's prophecy of the destruction of Sennacherib, and the good of Zion. 35. An angel slays the Assyrians. 36. Sennacherib is slain by his own sons. And now, O LORD our God, This phrase begins with a direct appeal to God, emphasizing a personal relationship. The use of "O LORD" reflects the covenant name of God, Yahweh, highlighting His eternal and unchanging nature. The phrase "our God" signifies a communal relationship, indicating that Hezekiah, the speaker, is not only praying for himself but for the entire nation of Judah. This reflects the biblical theme of God as the God of Israel, who has chosen them as His people (Exodus 6:7). please save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, O LORD, are God.” Persons / Places / Events 1. HezekiahThe King of Judah who is known for his faithfulness to God. He is the one praying in this verse, seeking deliverance from the Assyrian threat. 2. Sennacherib The King of Assyria, who has invaded Judah and is threatening Jerusalem. His arrogance and blasphemy against God prompt Hezekiah's prayer. 3. Jerusalem The capital city of Judah, under siege by the Assyrian army. It is the focal point of Hezekiah's prayer for deliverance. 4. The LORD (Yahweh) The God of Israel, whom Hezekiah calls upon for salvation. He is recognized as the one true God in contrast to the false gods of the nations. 5. Isaiah the Prophet Although not directly mentioned in this verse, Isaiah plays a crucial role in advising Hezekiah and delivering God's message of assurance. Teaching Points Dependence on GodHezekiah's prayer exemplifies total reliance on God in times of crisis. We are reminded to turn to God first in our own times of need. God's Sovereignty The verse underscores God's supreme authority over all nations. Believers can find comfort in knowing that God is in control, regardless of worldly powers. Witness to the Nations Hezekiah's desire for God's deliverance is not just for personal or national safety but for God's glory to be known among all nations. Our prayers and actions should also aim to reflect God's glory to others. Faith in Action Hezekiah's approach to the temple to pray demonstrates active faith. We are encouraged to actively seek God through prayer and worship. God's Unique Nature The acknowledgment of God as the only true God challenges us to examine our own lives for any idols or false dependencies. Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from 2 Kings 192 Kings 13:1-9 - Is there extrabiblical or archaeological evidence that confirms Jehoahaz's reign, or does the absence of such data cast doubt on the historicity of this passage? Why does 2 Chronicles 28:19 say God directly punishes an entire nation for one king's actions? Why does God apparently endorse Jehu's violent actions in 2 Kings 10:30, when other passages condemn such bloodshed? What are spiritual beings?Verse 19. - New therefore, O Lord our God. Hezekiah draws the strongest possible contrast between Jehovah and the idols. Sennacherib had placed them upon a par (2 Kings 18:33-35; 2 Kings 19:10-13). Hezekiah insists that the idols are "no gods," are "nothing" - at any rate are mere blocks of wood and stone, shaped by human hands. But Jehovah is "the God of all the kingdoms of the earth" (ver. 15), the Maker of heaven and earth (ver. 15), the one and only God (ver. 19) - answering to his name, self-existing, all-sufficient, the groundwork of all other existence. And he is "our God" - the special God of Israel, bound by covenant to protect there against all enemies. I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand; i.e. "do that which this proud blasphemer thinks that thou canst not do" (2 Kings 18:35); show him that thou art far mightier than he supposes, wholly unlike those "no-gods," over whom he has hitherto triumphed - a "very present Help in trouble" - potent to save. That all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord God. The glory of God is the end of creation; and God's true saints always bear the fact in mind, and desire nothing so much as that his glory should be shown forth everywhere and always. Moses, in his prayers for rebellious Israel in the wilderness, constantly urges upon God that it will not be for his glory to destroy or desert them (Exodus 32:12; Numbers 14:13-16; Deuteronomy 9:26-29). David, in his great strait, asks the destruction of his enemies, "that men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth" (Psalm 83:18); and again (Psalm 59:13), "Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be; and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth." Hezekiah prays for a signal vengeance on Sennacherib, not for his own sake, not even for his people's sake, so much as for the vindication of God's honor among the nations of the earth - that it may be known far and wide that Jehovah is a God who can help, the real Ruler of the world, against whom earthly kings and earthly might avail nothing. Even thou only. It would not satisfy Hezekiah that Jehovah should be acknowledged as a mighty god, one of many. He asks for such a demonstration as shall convince men that he is unique, that he stands alone, that he is the only mighty God in all the earth. Parallel Commentaries ...
