Exegesis
The verse begins with a rhetorical question formed by the hiphil perfect verb hitzilu {הַהִצִּילוּ | ha-hitsilu} ‘deliver’ to challenge the efficacy of foreign deities.
In context — 2 Kings 19:12
Have the gods of the nations which my fathers destroyed delivered them—Gozan, Harran, Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who were in Tel Assar?
