Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Kings 19:34
For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
34. for mine own sake ] God’s mercy and love to Israel were manifested that in them He might have witness to all the world. Hence the Psalmist often celebrates these qualities, and adds that they were shewn by Jehovah ‘for His name’s sake’. Cf. Psa 106:8, ‘He saved them for His name’s sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known’. So God speaks (Isa 43:25) by the prophet: ‘I am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake ’. See also Isa 48:11.

For mine own sake – Gods honor was concerned to defend His own city against one who denied His power in direct terms, as did Sennacherib 2Ki 18:35; 2Ki 19:10-12. His faithfulness was also concerned to keep the promise made to David Psa 132:12-18.

2Ki 19:34 For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
Ver. 34. For I will defend this city. ] I will cover it as with a shield, – so the word signifieth see 2Ki 19:32 , – I will fence and protect it. The like God hath done for Geneva, a small city besieged with enemies, and barred out from aid of friends. It had long since been undone, saith one, but because it had so many enemies to undo it; rather because it had so gracious and powerful a God to defend this city, to save it.
For mine own sake.
And for my servant David’s sake.] To whom I passed my word, and wilt keep it. Here A Lapide hath a good note out of Glycas, and commendeth it; Optime Glycas, Haec verba, inquit, ita divinitus prolata sunt, &c. a These words are thus uttered by God, lest Hezekiah should think that his prayer was heard for his own righteousness’ sake.
