God's Sovereign Hand
The verse explicitly states that "Jehovah began to send" the enemy kings. Commentators like John Gill emphasize this, explaining that God was using these foreign powers as a "scourge" for the sins of Judah, particularly under the coming reign of Ahaz. This highlights God's sovereignty over the affairs of nations, using them to enact His divine purposes.
