Geneva Bible Translation Notes

2 Chronicles 32:8

With him [is] an (d) arm of flesh; but with us [is] the (e) LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

(d) That is, the power of man.

(e) This declares that Hezekiah always put his trust in God, and yet made himself strong and used lawful means, lest he should seem to tempt God.
