Context — Sennacherib’s Fall Prophesied
25Have you not heard? Long ago I ordained it; in days of old I planned it. Now I have brought it to pass, that you should crush fortified cities into piles of rubble.
26Therefore their inhabitants, devoid of power, are dismayed and ashamed. They are like plants in the field, tender green shoots, grass on the rooftops, scorched before it is grown.
27But I know your sitting down, your going out and coming in, and your raging against Me.
28Because your rage and arrogance against Me have reached My ears, I will put My hook in your nose and My bit in your mouth; I will send you back the way you came.’ 29And this will be a sign to you, O Hezekiah: This year you will eat what grows on its own, and in the second year what springs from the same. But in the third year you will sow and reap; you will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.Cross References

2 Kings 19:27 Summary
This verse means that God knows everything about us, including our daily routines and actions, and that He is aware of our attitudes and motivations. Just like the king in this verse, we may think we can hide our true selves from God, but He sees and knows all, as stated in Jeremiah 23:24, where God says He fills heaven and earth and sees all things. God's knowledge of us is not just about judging us, but about loving us and wanting a relationship with us, as seen in John 3:16, where God gave His only Son to save us. By acknowledging God's omniscience and sovereignty, we can live with greater humility, gratitude, and obedience to Him.
Frequently Asked Questions

This phrase means that God is aware of every aspect of our lives, including our daily routines and activities, as stated in Psalm 139:2-3, where David says God knows his sitting down and rising up, and is acquainted with all his ways.
Why does God mention the king's 'raging against' Him?
God mentions the king's rage to emphasize that He is aware of the king's rebellious attitude and actions, which are ultimately against Him, as seen in 2 Kings 19:28, where God says the king's rage and arrogance have reached His ears.
How does this verse relate to God's sovereignty?
This verse highlights God's sovereignty and omniscience, as He knows everything about the king's life and actions, and is in control of all things, as stated in Isaiah 46:10, where God says His counsel will stand and He will accomplish all His purpose.
What can we learn from God's statement about knowing the king's actions?
We can learn that God is all-knowing and all-seeing, and that our actions and attitudes do not go unnoticed by Him, as stated in Proverbs 15:3, where it says the eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.

Gill's Exposition on 2 Kings 19:27
[See comments on 2 Kings 19:1]
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Kings 19:27
But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me. I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in. All the movements of Sennacherib were well known to Yahweh.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Kings 19:27
Though thou dost not know me, yet I thoroughly know thee, and all thy designs and actions, all thy secret and subtle contrivances in the place of thy abode, in thy own kingdom and court, and the execution of thy designs abroad, what thou intendest in thy going out, and with what successes or former thoughts thou comest in, or returnest to thy own land. For the phrase, compare ,3. And thy rage against me, i.e. against my servant Hezekiah, and my people, against whom he was engaged, because they would not deliver up Jerusalem to him, which he demanded. Things are frequently said to be done against God, which are only done against his people, because of that near union and relation which is between them. See ,5. But the words may well be rendered, and thy rage is with me, or before me, as the Syriac hath it; or, is manifest to me, as the Chaldee renders it. And so this branch of the verse answers to the former, I know, &c., and it is before me.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Kings 19:27
2 Kings 19:27 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.Ver. 27. But I know thine abode, &c.] Figurative terms taken from huntsmen, saith Diodate; the meaning is, I know all thy designs, and do overrule them.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 19:27
(27) But I know thy abode . . .—Literally, and thy down sitting, and thy going out, and thy coming in I know. Clearly something has fallen out at the opening of the sentence. Probably the words before me is thine uprising have been omitted by some copyist, owing to their resemblance to the words which end the last verse. So Wellhausen. (See Psalms 139:2.) The thought thus expressed is this: I know all thy plans and thy doings; I see also thy present rebellion against me. What thou hast hitherto done was done because I willed it: now I will check thee.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 19:27
27. But I know thy abode] R.V. sitting down. The verse expresses to the full, but with wonderful conciseness, how God has observed and is observing every action of Sennacherib. His dwelling, his movements to and fro, and the spirit which actuates them are all open before God’s eyes, and He identifies Himself so completely with Hezekiah and Jerusalem as to call the rage of the Assyrian against them rage against Himself.
Barnes' Notes on 2 Kings 19:27
See 1 Kings 3:7 note.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Kings 19:27
27. Thy abode — Rather, thy sitting down. The expressions sitting down, going out, coming in, are often used to denote all the actions of men.Psalms 139:2.
