Gill's Notes on the Bible

With him is an arm of flesh,.... Only weak, frail, mortal men, not at all to be feared; nothing in comparison of the Lord:

but with us is the Lord our God, to help us, and to fight our battles; who is the Lord God Almighty, who has the host of heaven at his command, and with whom all the inhabitants of the earth are as nothing; the Targum is,

"the Word of the Lord our God is for us to help us, and fight our battles:''

and the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah; not upon his bare words, but on what was contained in them, on the strength and power of the Lord God he assured them was on their side; they believed what he said to be true, and trusted in the Lord that he would save them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The faith, which Hezekiah’s words express, presently wavered, died away, and was succeeded by despair and submission (compare 2 Kings 18:14-16 notes).
