 All Judah sacked, the Assyrian army besieging the only city still remaining standing, Jehovah’s servant of the Lord despised, treated as an evildoer by the nations, the name of the Lord trampled underfoot, circumstances such that all must be borne in silence, and this humiliation accepted as the righteous retribution of the sin and disobedience of the people. Did they have any resource, this weak “remnant that is left” (2 Kings 19:4)? Yes, indeed! They still had Jehovah’s temple, His beloved city, Mount Zion, the son of David and his throne, the prophet — bearer of the word of God; they still had much more than David himself had in the cave of Adullam! (Sennacherib and the Lord: 2 Kings 19 by H.L. Rossier)
 In the account in Chronicles, we find the king according to the counsels of God. Judah is nothing more than a little insignificant remnant, confined to Jerusalem. From the first day on, the king appears as prepared by God for his work of grace. (Sennacherib and the Lord: 2 Kings 19 by H.L. Rossier)
 The three accounts of the life of Hezekiah contained in the Word (2 Kings 18-20; 2 Chron. 29-32; Isa. 36-39). Only our account in Kings begins with Hezekiah’s revolt against Sennacherib, followed by the invasion of Judah and the humiliation of the king upon his lack of trust. This is because this account presents to us the careers of kings placed under responsibility. God’s discipline toward Hezekiah on this occasion shows him that only trust in the Lord is able to sustain him....The history of Sennacherib’s attack against Jerusalem is much briefer here than in the other two accounts. (Sennacherib and the Lord: 2 Kings 19 by H.L. Rossier)
