Thus the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem By this work of wonder he was glorified as the Protector and Saviour of his people; from the hand of Sennacherib, and of all others For such a deliverance as this was an earnest of great mercy in store for them; and guided them on every side That is, defended them from all their enemies; just as a shepherd doth his sheep, which he leads into places of safety. And many brought gifts unto the Lord When they were convinced he had such wonderful power, having seen it exerted for the defence of his people, strangers were thereby induced to supplicate his favour, and those who had been enemies to him and his people, to deprecate his wrath; and both brought gifts to his temple, in token of their desire of the former, or fear of the latter. And presents to Hezekiah In token of the esteem and honour in which they held him, and to obtain an interest in him. So that he was magnified in the sight of all nations Or, of all those nations; namely, the nations which were not very remote from Canaan, and heard of these things.
