Commentary on 2 Kings 19:15

Theological / Devotional

Between the cherubims. This refers to the holy Shekinah, the miraculous glory that symbolized the personal presence of God and that appeared above the mercy seat between the two cherubim (see Ex. 25:22; 29:43; Lev. 16:2; 1 Sam. 4:4).

Thou alone. Hezekiah in his prayer acknowledged God as the only God, the Lord of all heaven and earth, whom Sennacherib had boldly defied. This was a protest against the letter of Sennacherib, in which he treated Jehovah as only one among the many insignificant gods of Western Asia, who had proved so helpless before the Assyrians.
