Context — Sennacherib Invades Judah

5Then Hezekiah worked resolutely to rebuild all the broken sections of the wall and to raise up towers on it. He also built an outer wall and reinforced the supporting terraces of the City of David, and he produced an abundance of weapons and shields. 6Hezekiah appointed military commanders over the people and gathered the people in the square of the city gate. Then he encouraged them, saying,

7“Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged before the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater One with us than with him.

8With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles.” So the people were strengthened by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. 9Later, as Sennacherib king of Assyria and all his forces besieged Lachish, he sent his servants to Jerusalem with a message for King Hezekiah of Judah and all the people of Judah who were in Jerusalem:

We can be strong and courageous because we know that God is with us, just like He was with Hezekiah and the people of Judah.

2 Chronicles 32:7 Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that [is] with him: for [there be] more with us than with him:Ver. 7. Be strong and courageous.] His speech is short but pithy: very cordial and comfortable. Now for all the multitude that is with him.] Only go to Christ and say, as Isaiah 8:8, "The stretching out of his wings hath filled the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel."

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32:7

(7) Be not afraid . . . the multitude.—Comp. 2 Chronicles 20:15, “Be not afraid nor dismayed for this great multitude.” “Be strong and courageous, be not afraid” occurs in Deuteronomy 31:6 (Heb.). For there be more with us than with him.—A reminiscence of 2 Kings 6:16, “Be not thou afraid; for more are they that are with us than they that are with them.” It is not necessary to suppose that the chronicler professes to give the exact words of Hezekiah’s exhortation, but only the substance and spirit of it.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32:7

Verse 7. There be more with us than with him] We have more power than they have. (These words he quotes from the prophet Elisha, 2Kg 6:16.) This was soon proved to be true by the slaughter made by the angel of the Lord in the Assyrian camp.
