21 And the Lord sent an angel who destroyed every mighty warrior , commander and officer in the camp of the king of Assyria . So he returned in shame e to his own land . And when he had entered the temple of his god , some of his own children e killed him there with the sword . 22 So the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side . 23 And many were bringing gifts to the Lord at Jerusalem and choice presents to Hezekiah king of Judah , so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations thereafter e e .

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32:1-23
(Read 2 Chronicles 32:1-23)
Those who trust God with their safety, must use proper means, else they tempt him. God will provide, but so must we also. Hezekiah gathered his people together, and spake comfortably to them. A believing confidence in God, will raise us above the prevailing fear of man. Let the good subjects and soldiers of Jesus Christ, rest upon his word, and boldly say, Since God is for us, who can be against us? By the favour of God, enemies are lost, and friends gained.
