Barnes' Notes
Which dwellest between the cherubims - The reference is to the shechinah, or miraculous glory, which from time to time appeared above the mercy-seat from between the two cherubims, whose wings overshadowed the ark of the covenant (I Kings 6:23-27; compare Exodus 25:22; Leviticus 16:2, etc.).
Thou art the God, even thou alone - This is the protest of the pure theist against the intense polytheism of Sennacherib' s letter, which assumes that gods are only gods of particular nations, and that Hezekiah' s God is but one out of an indefinite number, no stronger or more formidable than the rest.
