Context of 2 Chronicles 32:15
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. 14Look 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. Do 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. 17Sennacherib also wrote letters to insult the Lord, Israel's God, and to laugh at him. He wrote, ‘The gods of the other nations around you could not save their people from my power. So Hezekiah's God cannot rescue his people from me either.’
