2 Kings 19:19 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Now therefore, save us out of his hand For if we be conquered, as other lands have been, they will say that thou art conquered, as the gods of those lands were; but, Lord, distinguish thyself by distinguishing us; and let all the world know, and be made to confess, that thou art the Lord, the self-existent God, even thou only, and that all pretenders to divinity are vanity and a lie. Let it be observed here, that the best pleas in prayer are those which are taken from God's honour, and the concerns thereof; and therefore the Lord's prayer begins with, Hallowed be thy name, and concludes with, Thine is the glory.

2 Kings 19:19

19 Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only.
