Salvation is God's Work
The verse promises that God will save Judah "by the Lord their God," not by military might. Commentators explain this points to God's direct intervention, like the miraculous defeat of Sennacherib's army. Ultimately, it foreshadows the gospel, where salvation comes not from human effort or strength, but solely through the power and mercy of God in Jesus Christ.
