How did Hashem found Tziyon?

1.

Rashi: He established a proper king, and strengthened His nation. Radak - Chizkiyah was like a foundation for a building. Melech Ashur thought to destroy it; Chizkiyah prayed, and Hashem answered him via Yeshayah ha'Navi "v'Lo Yoreh Sham Chetz v'Lo Yekadmenah Magen v'Lo Yishpoch Aleha Solelah; v'Ganosi Al ha'Ir ha'Zos Lehoshi'ah" (37:33, 35).

3)

What is the meaning of "u'Vah Yechesu Aniyei Amo"?

1.

Rashi: Even from the 10 tribes will come there, like it says in Divrei ha'Yamim (II, 30:6) that Chizkiyah sent messengers in all borders of Yisrael to repent to Hashem.

2.

Radak: All fortified cities of Yehudah were captured and [Yerushalayim] alone remained, and Yisrael took refuge in it.

3.

Malbim: Hashem felled Melech Ashur in front of Yisrael. Even though Pelishtim rejoiced over the fall of Yehudah, the salvation of Tziyon turned to be a good tiding for them, for via it they were saved from a greater enemy - Sancheriv, who totally destroyed them.
