Barnes' Notes
Sargon had established the complete dominion of Assyria over the Philistines. Hence, the object of Hezekiah' s Philistine campaign was not so much conquest as opposition to the Assyrian power. How successful it was is indicated in the Assyrian records by the number of towns in this quarter which Sennacherib recovered before he proceeded against Jerusalem.
