God Fells the Enemy Forest
Most commentators agree that this verse uses powerful imagery to describe God's judgment on the Assyrian army. The army, vast and imposing like the great forest of Lebanon, will be swiftly 'cut down' by a 'mighty one'—God Himself or His angel. This serves as a dramatic promise that despite Assyria's terrifying advance, God will decisively intervene to save His people.
