Historically, Hezekiah was known for his religious reforms and efforts to centralize worship in Jerusalem, which included the destruction of high places and idols. The Assyrians aimed to sow doubt about Hezekiah's leadership and his reliance on God. This tactic of psychological warfare was common in ancient Near Eastern military campaigns.and do not let him mislead you like this. The Assyrians accused Hezekiah of misleading his people by promising divine deliverance. This reflects a broader theme in the Bible where leaders are often challenged on their faith and trust in God. The Assyrians were trying to convince the people that Hezekiah's faith was misplaced, a common challenge faced by leaders who trust in God rather than military might.Do not believe him, The call to disbelief is a direct attack on the faith of the people. In the context of biblical history, this reflects the ongoing struggle between faith in God and the temptation to rely on human power and alliances. The Assyrians were known for their military prowess, and their confidence in their own strength was a test for the Israelites' faith.for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. This statement highlights the Assyrian belief in their invincibility, as they had conquered many nations and their gods. It reflects the historical context of Assyrian expansion and dominance in the region. Theologically, this sets the stage for a demonstration of the power of the God of Israel, contrasting the impotence of other gods with the true God's ability to save.How much less will your God deliver you from my hand!” This challenge directly questions the power of the God of Israel, setting up a confrontation between the Assyrian king and the God of Hezekiah. It echoes other biblical narratives where God's power is demonstrated against seemingly insurmountable odds, such as the Exodus from Egypt.

The how much less of the message of Sennacherib probably meant that his estimate of the your God i.e. the God of Israel, was measured partly by the comparative smallness and unwarlike character of the nation of Judah, when set side by side with the great heathen nations, and partly by the spiritual and invisible character and being of God, little intelligible to such a one as Sennacherib. <a href="/commentaries/2_chronicles/32-15.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>So now, וְעַתָּ֡ה (wə·‘at·tāh) Conjunctive waw | Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6258.htm">Strong's 6258: </a> At this time do not אַל־ (’al-) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_408.htm">Strong's 408: </a> Not let Hezekiah חִזְקִיָּ֜הוּ (ḥiz·qî·yā·hū) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2396.htm">Strong's 2396: </a> Hezekiah -- 'Yah has strengthened', a king of Judah, also several other Israelites deceive you, יַשִּׁיא֩ (yaš·šî) Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5377.htm">Strong's 5377: </a> To lead astray, to delude, to seduce and do not וְאַל־ (wə·’al-) Conjunctive waw | Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_408.htm">Strong's 408: </a> Not let him mislead יַסִּ֨ית (yas·sîṯ) Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5496.htm">Strong's 5496: </a> To prick, stimulate, to seduce you אֶתְכֶ֣ם (’eṯ·ḵem) Direct object marker | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_853.htm">Strong's 853: </a> Untranslatable mark of the accusative case like this. כָּזֹאת֮ (kā·zōṯ) Preposition-k | Pronoun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2063.htm">Strong's 2063: </a> Hereby in it, likewise, the one other, same, she, so much, such deed, that, Do not וְאַל־ (wə·’al-) Conjunctive waw | Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_408.htm">Strong's 408: </a> Not believe him, תַּאֲמִ֣ינוּ (ta·’ă·mî·nū) Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_539.htm">Strong's 539: </a> To confirm, support for כִּי־ (kî-) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction no לֹ֣א (lō) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no god אֱל֙וֹהַ֙ (’ĕ·lō·w·ha) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_433.htm">Strong's 433: </a> God -- a deity, the Deity of any כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every nation גּ֣וֹי (gō·w) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1471.htm">Strong's 1471: </a> A foreign nation, a Gentile, a troop of animals, a flight of locusts or kingdom וּמַמְלָכָ֔ה (ū·mam·lā·ḵāh) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4467.htm">Strong's 4467: </a> Kingdom, sovereignty, dominion, reign has been able יוּכַ֗ל (yū·ḵal) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3201.htm">Strong's 3201: </a> To be able, have power to deliver לְהַצִּ֥יל (lə·haṣ·ṣîl) Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5337.htm">Strong's 5337: </a> To strip, plunder, deliver oneself, be delivered, snatch away, deliver his people עַמּ֛וֹ (‘am·mōw) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5971.htm">Strong's 5971: </a> A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock from my hand מִיָּדִ֖י (mî·yā·ḏî) Preposition-m | Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3027.htm">Strong's 3027: </a> A hand or from the hand וּמִיַּ֣ד (ū·mî·yaḏ) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-m | Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3027.htm">Strong's 3027: </a> A hand of my fathers. אֲבוֹתָ֑י (’ă·ḇō·w·ṯāy) Noun - masculine plural construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1.htm">Strong's 1: </a> Father How much less אַ֚ף (’ap̄) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_637.htm">Strong's 637: </a> Meaning accession, yea, adversatively though will your God אֱ‍ֽלֹהֵיכֶ֔ם (’ĕlō·hê·ḵem) Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_430.htm">Strong's 430: </a> gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlative deliver יַצִּ֥ילוּ (yaṣ·ṣî·lū) Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5337.htm">Strong's 5337: </a> To strip, plunder, deliver oneself, be delivered, snatch away, deliver you אֶתְכֶ֖ם (’eṯ·ḵem) Direct object marker | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_853.htm">Strong's 853: </a> Untranslatable mark of the accusative case from my hand!??
