What does Isaiah 37:21 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
21. Whereas thou hast prayed to me--that is, hast not relied on thy own strength but on Me (compare 2Ki 19:20). "That which thou hast prayed to Me against Sennacherib, I have heard" (Psa 65:2).

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 21 Then Isaiah - sent unto Hezekiah - The Syriac and Septuagint understand and render the verb passively, was sent. Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib "Thy prayer unto me concerning Sennacherib - I have heard" - שמעתי shamati; this word, necessary to the sense, is lost in this place out of the Hebrew text. One MS. of Dr. Kennicott's and one of De Rossi's have it written above the line in a later hand. The Septuagint and Syriac found it in their copies; and it is preserved in the other copy; 2Kgs 19:20.
