“Now therefore, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord, even thou only.”
Hezekiah appeals to God to save Judah so that all the kingdoms of the earth will know that the LORD alone is God. The appeal invokes the consequences of God's action: if God saves Jerusalem, all nations will recognize God's supremacy. The oracle shows the king's understanding that the salvation of Jerusalem has universal significance and will establish God's glory throughout creation.
