Isaiah 37:21

"Now therefore, LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are the LORD, even you only.”"

Key Reflection

This plea to the Lord for deliverance underscores Israel's trust in Yahweh as their sole sovereign and savior. By seeking His intervention against Assyria, He is not just asking for temporal relief but also demonstrating his faith that through divine salvation, nations will acknowledge Yahweh’s supremacy.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Whereas thou hast prayed -Because thou hast come to me instead of relying on thy own resources and strength. In2 Kings 19:20, it is, ‘That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib, king of Assyria, I have heard.’
