2Ki 19:34 For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
Ver. 34. For I will defend this city.] I will cover it as with a shield, - so the word signifieth see 2Ki 19:32, - I will fence and protect it. The like God hath done for Geneva, a small city besieged with enemies, and barred out from aid of friends. It had long since been undone, saith one, but because it had so many enemies to undo it; rather because it had so gracious and powerful a God to defend this city, to save it.

34. for mine own sake] God’s mercy and love to Israel were manifested that in them He might have witness to all the world. Hence the Psalmist often celebrates these qualities, and adds that they were shewn by Jehovah ‘for His name’s sake’. Cf. Psa_106:8, ‘He saved them for His name’s sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known’. So God speaks (Isa_43:25) by the prophet: ‘I am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake’. See also Isa_48:11.

For I will defend this city, to save it not merely with a view of saving it, but in such sort as effectually to save itfor mine own sakei.e. , because my own honor is concerned in its preservation, especially after the taunts of Sennacherib (2Ki_18:32-35 2Ki_19:10-13) and for my servant David"s sake. Not so much on account of the promises made to David, as on account of the love which God bore towards him for his faithfulness and earnest devotion.
