Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(22) Thus.--And. The whole verse is the chronicler's own comment on the preceding narrative. (Comp. 2Kings 18:7.)

The hand of all.--Some MSS. appropriately add his enemies, an expression which may have fallen out of the text.

And guided them on every side (round about).--A somewhat unusual phrase. The conjecture, "and gave them rest round about (wayy?nah I?hem for wayy?nah?l?m), appears correct. (See 2Chronicles 14:6; 2Chronicles 15:15; 2Chronicles 20:30; 1Chronicles 22:18.) So the LXX. and Vulg. . . .

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 22. - This verse, with the notification of Hezekiah's great deliverance from the hand of the King of Assyria, summarizes also his various other deliverances, with tacit reference to such suggestion of other conflicts as we have in 2 Kings 18:7, 8. Guided them on every side. The Septuagint reads, gave them rest. This suits the connection as regards meaning best, and also as regards the immediately following adverb, "on every side." It has also in our present book the correspondences of ch. 14:6; 15:15; and especially 2 Chronicles 20:30, with the Hebrew words of which, an easily supposed rectification brings it into exact agreement.
