“O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.”
Hezekiah's prayer addresses God as the LORD of hosts, who sits enthroned above the cherubim, who is the God of all the kingdoms of the earth. The prayer establishes the cosmic scope of God's authority and sovereignty. The oracle shows the king grounding his appeal in the recognition of God's supremacy and control over all powers. The prayer asserts that no earthly power can stand against God's will.
