Commentary on 2 Kings 19:11

Theological / Devotional

To all lands. Assyria was at the height of its military career. Tiglath-pileser had conquered Babylon and made himself king of that land, Shalmaneser had destroyed the nation of Israel, Sargon had devastated countries in every direction, and now Sennacherib was following in Sargon’s footsteps.

Destroying them utterly. Sennacherib was endeavoring to strike terror to the heart of Hezekiah by setting before him the terrible punishment meted out to those who dared withstand the Assyrian arms. By surrendering now he could at least hope for some measure of clemency from Sennacherib.
