Imagine if someone asked you, 'Where are the superheroes from other towns? They couldn’t help, so your town’s superhero can’t help either.' This is like that, but with kings and their gods instead of superheroes. The Assyrian king is trying to make the people of Judah feel scared and doubt their faith.
