This prayer occurs during the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem, highlighting the importance of prayer in seeking God's guidance and deliverance. Hezekiah's approach to God in prayer reflects a deep reliance on divine power rather than human strength or alliances.O LORD, God of Israel: This invocation acknowledges the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The use of "LORD" (YHWH) emphasizes God's eternal and unchanging nature. By addressing God as the "God of Israel," Hezekiah affirms the special bond and promises made to the patriarchs, which are foundational to Israel's identity and hope.enthroned between the cherubim: This phrase refers to the mercy seat on the Ark of the Covenant, where God's presence was believed to dwell in the Holy of Holies within the temple. The imagery of God enthroned between the cherubim signifies His sovereignty and holiness. It also connects to the vision of God's throne in <a href="/isaiah/6.htm">Isaiah 6</a> and <a href="/ezekiel/1.htm">Ezekiel 1</a>, emphasizing His majesty and authority.You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth: Hezekiah acknowledges God's supremacy and sovereignty over all nations, not just Israel. This declaration contrasts the power of the Assyrian empire with the ultimate authority of God. It echoes the monotheistic belief central to Israel's faith, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/6-4.htm">Deuteronomy 6:4</a>, and foreshadows the universal reign of God in eschatological prophecies.You made the heavens and the earth: This statement affirms God as the Creator, a theme prevalent throughout Scripture, beginning with <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1:1</a>. It underscores God's omnipotence and the belief that the Creator has control over His creation.

Which dwellest between the cherubims; or, on the cherubim - "which hast thy seat," i.e., behind the veil in the awful holy of holies, consecrated to thee, and where thou dost manifest thyself." Hezekiah, as Keil observes, calls into prominence "the covenant relation into which Jehovah, the Almighty Creator and Ruler of the whole world, had entered towards Israel. As the covenant God, who was enthroned above the cherubim, the Lord was bound to help his people, if they turned to him with faith in the time of their distress and entreated his assistance." Thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. Thou art not, i.e., as Sennacherib supposes, a mere local god, presiding over Judaea, and protecting it; but thou art the God of all the earth and of all its kingdoms, including his own, equally. Moreover, thou alone art the God of the kingdoms. Their supposed gods are no gods, have no existence, are the mere fictions of an idle and excited imagination, are mere "breath" and "nothingness." Thou hast made heaven and earth. Whereas they have done nothing, have given no proof of their existence (see <a href="/isaiah/41-23.htm">Isaiah 41:23, 24</a>). <a href="/commentaries/2_kings/19-15.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>And Hezekiah חִזְקִיָּ֜הוּ (ḥiz·qî·yā·hū) Noun -
