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 protector and deliverer of His people, as seen throughout the Old Testament.<p><b>save us from his hand,</b><br>The plea for salvation from "his hand" refers to the Assyrian king Sennacherib, who was threatening Jerusalem. Historically, the Assyrian Empire was a dominant military power, known for its brutal conquests. This request for deliverance is not just a desire for physical safety but also a call for divine intervention against overwhelming odds. It echoes other biblical instances where God delivers His people, such as the Exodus from Egypt.<p><b>so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know</b><br>This phrase underscores the missional aspect of Israel's faith. The deliverance of Judah is not solely for their benefit but serves a greater purpose: to demonstrate God's power and sovereignty to all nations. This reflects the biblical theme of God's desire for all peoples to recognize His authority, as seen in the Abrahamic covenant where all nations would be blessed through Abraham's descendants.<p><b>that You alone, O LORD, are God.</b><br>The declaration of God's exclusivity is central to the monotheistic faith of Israel. In a polytheistic ancient Near Eastern context, where multiple gods were worshiped, this statement affirms the uniqueness and supremacy of Yahweh. It connects to the Shema in <a href="/deuteronomy/6-4.htm">Deuteronomy 6:4</a>, "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one." This phrase also foreshadows the New Testament revelation of Jesus Christ, who is the fulfillment of God's promises and the ultimate demonstration of God's power and love to the world.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hezekiah.htm">Hezekiah</a></b><br>The king of Judah who is praying for deliverance from the Assyrian threat.
