The God of the Covenant
Commentators highlight that God identifies Himself as "the God of David thy father" to ground His mercy in His covenant promise. For Hezekiah, this was the promise that David's line would endure. John Calvin notes this points believers to our Mediator, Jesus Christ. When our own sin makes us feel distant from God, we find hope by remembering He is the Father of our Savior, in whom our salvation is secure.
