John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 2. And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come , etc.] Into the land of Judah, which he perceived and understood by reports brought to him: and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem; to besiege it and take it, if possible; this he saw was his design, by taking the fenced cities in his way, and coming forward with his forces.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-23 - Those who trust God with their safety, must use proper means, else the tempt him. God will provide, but so must we also. Hezekiah gathered his people together, and spake comfortably to them. A believing confidenc in God, will raise us above the prevailing fear of man. Let the goo subjects and soldiers of Jesus Christ, rest upon his word, and boldl say, Since God is for us, who can be against us? By the favour of God enemies are lost, and friends gained.
