2Ki 19:32-34 | TNotes | STEP | Summary for 2Kgs 19:32-34: 19:32-34 Sennacherib’s armies did not enter Jerusalem but returned home. In Sennacherib’s own account, he gave details of capturing and despoiling forty-six cities of Judah. He made no mention of the capture of Jerusalem but recorded only that he shut up Hezekiah “in Jerusalem ... like a bird in a cage.” • For my own honor —in light of Sennacherib’s blasphemies and arrogance against God (18:25 , 28-30 ; 19:10-13 , 21 , 27-28 )— and for the sake of my servant David , to whom God had made his covenant promise (2 Sam 7:8-16 ) and whose faith Hezekiah had emulated (2 Kgs 18:3 ), the Lord would defend this city (see 20:6 ). The Lord decisively demonstrated that he alone is God and that he is faithful to his people who trust in him.
