Context of 2 Kings 19:34
32‘Therefore this is what the Lord says about the king of Assyria: “He will not come to this city nor shoot an arrow there; and he will not come before it with a shield nor heap up an assault ramp against it. 33By the way that he came, by the same he will return, and he shall not come to this city,”’ declares the Lord. ‘For I will protect this city to save it for My own sake, and for My servant David’s sake.’” 35Then it happened that night that the angel of the Lord went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when the rest got up early in the morning, behold, all of the 185,000 were dead. 36So Sennacherib the king of Assyria departed and returned home, and lived at Nineveh.

Commentaries on 2 Kings 19:34
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 34For mine own sake - God‘s honor was concerned to defend His own city against one who denied His power in direct terms, as did Sennacherib 2 Kings 18:35; 2 Kings 19:10-12.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 20-34Verses 20-34 All Sennacherib's motions were under the Divine cognizance. God himself undertakes to defend the city; and that person, that place, cannot but be safe, which he undertakes to protect.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 32-34Sennacherib's armies did not enter Jerusalem and instead returned home. In his own account, Sennacherib described capturing and plundering forty-six cities in Judah.
