A Specific, Historical Deliverance
Commentators overwhelmingly identify this verse as a direct prophecy of the miraculous destruction of the Assyrian army led by Sennacherib. God declares He will break this enemy 'in my land' and 'upon my mountains,' a promise fulfilled when an angel struck down the Assyrian host near Jerusalem. This specific, historical event serves as a powerful demonstration of God's direct intervention on behalf of His people.
