Contextual Overview
9 King Sennacherib of Assyria and all his army were camped near the town of Lachish so that they could defeat it. Then Sennacherib sent his officers to King Hezekiah of Judah and to all the people of Judah in Jerusalem. His officers had a message for Hezekiah and all the people in Jerusalem. 10 They said, "King Sennacherib of Assyria says this: ‘What do you trust in that makes you stay under attack in Jerusalem? 11 Hezekiah is fooling you. You are being tricked into staying in Jerusalem so that you will die from hunger and thirst. Hezekiah says to you, "The Lord our God will save us from the king of Assyria." 12 But Hezekiah himself took away the high places and altars that belonged to that god. He told you people of Judah and Jerusalem that you must worship and burn incense on only one altar. 13 Of course, you know what my ancestors and I have done to all the peoples in other countries. The gods of the other countries could not save their people. Those gods could not stop me from destroying their people. 14 My ancestors destroyed those countries. There is no god that can stop me from destroying his people. So you think your god can save you from me? 15 Don't let Hezekiah fool you or trick you. Don't believe him because no god of any nation or kingdom has ever been able to keep his people safe from me or my ancestors. Don't think your god can stop me from destroying you.'" 16 The officers of the king of Assyria said worse things against the Lord God and against Hezekiah, God's servant. 17 The king of Assyria also wrote letters that insulted the Lord , the God of Israel. This is what the king of Assyria said in those letters: "The gods of the other nations could not stop me from destroying their people. In the same way Hezekiah's god will not be able to stop me from destroying his people." 18 Then the Assyrian officers shouted loudly to the people of Jerusalem who were on the city wall. They spoke in the language of Judah so that the people on the wall could understand and be frightened enough that the Assyrians could capture the city of Jerusalem.

The author of Chronicles compresses into 13 verses the history which occupies in Kings a chapter and a half (2 Kings 18:17-19; where see the notes).
2 Chronicles 32:10

2 Chronicles 32:13
fathers - i. e. âpredecessors.â Sennacherib really belonged to a dynasty that had only furnished one king before himself.
2 Chronicles 32:22
