“Of a truth, Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,”
Hezekiah acknowledges the reality of Assyrian conquest, that the Assyrians have indeed destroyed nations and burned their gods. The acknowledgment suggests that the king is not in denial about Assyrian power but is appealing to God precisely on the basis of that power and on the necessity of God's intervention.
