Context of 2 Chronicles 32:14

12Remember that it was Hezekiah who removed the altars and the special places where you worship the Lord your God. He told the people of Judah and Jerusalem, “You must worship God only at the altar here in Jerusalem. That is the only place that you may offer sacrifices. ” 13You surely know what my ancestors and I have done to all the other nations. The gods of the nations around you could not save their people from my power. Look at all the nations that my ancestors completely destroyed. None of their gods could rescue any of them. So do not think that your God can save you from my power. 15Do not let Hezekiah deceive you with his lies. Do not believe him. No god of any nation or kingdom has been able to save his people from me or from my ancestors. So your God certainly cannot save you from my power! ’ 16King Sennacherib's men continued to insult the Lord God and his servant Hezekiah.
