SEV Biblia, Chapter 32:1
¶ Después de estas cosas y de esta fidelidad, vino Senaquerib rey de los Asirios, entró en Judá, y asentó campamento contra las ciudades fuertes, y determinó de entrar en ellas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:1
Verse 1. After these things] God did not permit this pious prince to be disturbed till he had completed the reformation which he had begun.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. After these things, and the establishment thereof , etc.] What are recorded in the preceding chapters, when matters were well settled, especially with respect to religion and temple service, and when Hezekiah was well established in the throne of his kingdom, had fought with and defeated the Philistines, and cast off the Assyrian yoke, and was in very prosperous circumstances; for it was in the fourteenth year of his reign that what follows was done: Sennacherib king of Assyria came and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself ; or to break them, or into them; or through them to break down the walls to take them, and join them to himself, as the Targum, and he did take them, (see 2 Kings 18:13).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-23 - Those who trust God with their safety, must use proper means, else the tempt him. God will provide, but so must we also. Hezekiah gathered his people together, and spake comfortably to them. A believing confidenc in God, will raise us above the prevailing fear of man. Let the goo subjects and soldiers of Jesus Christ, rest upon his word, and boldl say, Since God is for us, who can be against us? By the favour of God enemies are lost, and friends gained.
