2 notes on this verse
Thus the Lord saved Hezekiah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria,.... As most clearly appeared; for no stroke was struck but by him: and from the hand of all other; the Arabic version adds,"who were round about them;''who by this defeat were deterred from attacking them: and guided them on every side: and guarded them all around, as a shepherd leads his flock, where they may be secure from all dangers.

This site's exposition

guided them on every side

on 2 Chronicles 32:22-23

Verse 23 is Chronicles' own addition to the story: many brought gifts unto the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah, so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth. Kings closes the Sennacherib episode with the king's death; Chronicles adds the nations' response, the same pattern of recognition that follows Jehoshaphat's deliverance in chapter 20. Gill reads the gifts as proof the surrounding nations understood who had fought the battle, and did not wish Judah's God for an enemy.
