Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible

2 Kings 19:34

Mine own sake] God's intentions towards His people could not be foiled altogether through the sins of the latter; so that though the divine justice had demanded the chastisement of the nation, the divine faithfulness required that it should be preserved from complete destruction.
