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.

(22) Thus.And. The whole verse is the chroniclers own comment on the preceding narrative. (Comp. 2Ki. 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 (wayynah Ihem for wayynahlm), appears correct. (See 2Ch. 14:6; 2Ch. 15:15; 2Ch. 20:30; 1Ch. 22:18.) So the LXX. and Vulg.

2Ch 32:22-23. Thus the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem By this work of wonder he was glorified as the Protector and Saviour of his people; from the hand of Sennacherib, and of all others For such a deliverance as this was an earnest of great mercy in store for them; and guided them on every side That is, defended them from all their enemies; just as a shepherd doth his sheep, which he leads into places of safety.

So that he was magnified in the sight of all nations Or, of all those nations; namely, the nations which were not very remote from Canaan, and heard of these things.
