Do not let Hezekiah mislead you when he says, “The Lord will deliver us”. Has the god of any nation ever delivered his land from the hand of the king of Assyria? - v18
The commander here sought to undermine the faith of the ordinary people in a vain attempt to use these people against Hezekiah. He could not perceive or understand the power of God, the real, the one and only God. As others had put their faith in false Gods and been defeated he believed, much to his own detriment, that the True God whom Hezekiah believed in was no different, even today many people still hold this view and are prepared to verbalise, using a language which we as Christians understand and they too suffer the consequences of their own lack of understanding.
