Contextual Overview
8 The field commander heard that the king of Assyria had left Lachish. When he went back, he found the king fighting against the city of Libnah. 9 The king received a report that Tirhakah, the Cushite king of Egypt, was coming to attack him. When the king of Assyria heard this, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying, 10 "Tell Hezekiah king of Judah: Don't be fooled by the god you trust. Don't believe him when he says Jerusalem will not be handed over to the king of Assyria. 11 You have heard what the kings of Assyria have done. They have completely defeated every country, so do not think you will be saved. 12 Did the gods of those people save them? My ancestors destroyed them, defeating the cities of Gozan, Haran, and Rezeph, and the people of Eden living in Tel Assar. 13 Where are the kings of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the kings of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?" 14 When Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers and read it, he went up to the Temple of the Lord . He spread the letter out before the Lord 15 and prayed to the Lord : " Lord , God of Israel, whose throne is between the gold creatures with wings, only you are God of all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth. 16 Hear, Lord , and listen. Open your eyes, Lord , and see. Listen to the words Sennacherib has said to insult the living God. 17 It is true, Lord , that the kings of Assyria have destroyed these countries and their lands.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
:-
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Which dwellest between the cherubims - The reference is to the shechinah, or miraculous glory, which from time to time appeared above the mercy-seat from between the two cherubims, whose wings overshadowed the ark of the covenant (1 Kings 6:23-27; compare Exodus 25:22; Leviticus 16:2, etc.).
Thou art the God, even thou alone - This is the protest of the pure theist against the intense polytheism of Sennacheribâs letter, which assumes that gods are only gods of particular nations, and that Hezekiahâs God is but one out of an indefinite number, no stronger or more formidable than the rest.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 19:15. Thou art the God, &c. — Thou art not only God of Israel, but God also of Assyria, and of all the nations of the world.
