Teaching Points Acknowledging God's SovereigntyHezekiah's prayer begins with a recognition of God's supreme authority. In our own lives, we should start our prayers by acknowledging God's sovereignty over all circumstances. God as Creator Recognizing God as the Creator of the heavens and the earth reminds us of His power and ability to intervene in our lives. This should encourage us to trust Him with our challenges. Prayer in Times of Crisis Hezekiah turns to God in a moment of national crisis. We are encouraged to seek God earnestly in prayer when facing our own trials and uncertainties.

Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from 2 Kings 19What events define Hezekiah's reign as king? Does God provide evidence of answering prayers? Psalm 142:2 portrays a direct plea to God—how does this align with the skeptic’s view that supernatural intervention lacks scientific proof? Why do Assyrian records make no mention of the dramatic deaths of 185,000 troops as in 2 Kings 19:35?(15) Which dwellest between the cherubims.--Rather, which sittest above the cherubim, or, the cherub-throned. (Comp. Exodus 25:22; 1Samuel 4:4; Psalm 18:10; Ezekiel 1:26.) Thou art the God.--With emphasis on Thou. Thou art the true God, thou alone, unto all the kingdoms, &c. Thou hast made.--Thou it was that madest. The thought is, And therefore Thou art--the only God for all the kingdoms (comp. Isaiah 40:18 seq.), and "the only ruler of princes." . . . Verse 15. - And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and said, O Lord God of Israel. In the parallel passage of Isaiah 37:16 we find, "O Lord of hosts, Cod of Israel." Our author probably abbreviates. Which dwellest between the cherubims; or, on the cherubim - "which hast thy seat," i.e., behind the veil in the awful holy of holies, consecrated to thee, and where thou dost manifest thyself." Hezekiah, as Keil observes, calls into prominence "the covenant relation into which Jehovah, the Almighty Creator and Ruler of the whole world, had entered towards Israel. As the covenant God, who was enthroned above the cherubim, the Lord was bound to help his people, if they turned to him with faith in the time of their distress and entreated his assistance." Thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. Thou art not, i.e., as Sennacherib supposes, a mere local god, presiding over Judaea, and protecting it; but thou art the God of all the earth and of all its kingdoms, including his own, equally. Moreover, thou alone art the God of the kingdoms. Their supposed gods are no gods, have no existence, are the mere fictions of an idle and excited imagination, are mere "breath" and "nothingness." Thou hast made heaven and earth. Whereas they have done nothing, have given no proof of their existence (see Isaiah 41:23, 24).Parallel Commentaries ...
