17. the kings of Assyria have destroyed [R.V. laid waste] the nations] The change is in conformity with the rendering in Isaiah, where the Hebrew, however, says ‘all the countries and their land’ (R.V.) The Hebrew word translated ‘destroyed’ in the next verse is different from this.

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain Of a truth, Lord, the kings of Assyriai.e. Sennacherib,…
Of a truth, Lord, the kings of Assyriai.e. Sennacherib, and his predecessors the long line of monarchs who have sat on the Assyrian throne for many past ages have destroyed the nations and their lands; rather, have laid waste, as in the parallel passage of Isaiah. (Isa_37:18) "Destroyed" is too strong a word. Hezekiah fully admits the boast of the Assyrian monarch, that he and his predecessors have had a wonderful career of success; (comp. Isa_10:5-14) but he refuses to regard this past success as ensuring success in the future. All is in the hand of God, and will be determined as God pleases. It is not an iron necessity that rules the world, but a personal will, and this well may be affected by prayer, to which (ver. 19) he therefore has recourse.
