A Prophecy Against Assyria
Most commentators identify the immediate subject of this prophecy as Sennacherib, king of Assyria. His army destroyed nations, and he dealt treacherously with Judah's King Hezekiah by attacking even after accepting a large payment for peace. The verse is a direct announcement of God's judgment: Assyria's own destructive and treacherous ways would be turned back on them.
