God's Sudden Intervention

Commentators emphasize the dramatic turn in this verse. Just as the seemingly unstoppable Assyrian army reaches the gates of Jerusalem, God intervenes with terrifying power. This serves as a powerful reminder that God's sovereignty can bring a sudden and complete reversal, demonstrating that no human power is beyond His control, especially when defending His people.
