What Does 2 Chronicles 32:7 Mean?
In a single sentence, Hezekiah addresses the people's natural fear and dismay at facing Assyria's overwhelming military power. He calls for strength and courage while asserting a paradoxical truth: though vastly outnumbered by Assyrian forces, the people of Judah have a greater advantage.
