God's Ultimate Motive
Commentators explain that God considered completely destroying Israel for their rebellion. However, He restrained this judgment for the sake of His own glory. He would not allow enemy nations to misinterpret Israel's fall as a victory for their false gods, thus protecting His own name and reputation in the world. This reveals that God's mercy is often rooted in His zeal for His own glory.
