Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Kings 19:31

31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant , and they that escape out of mount Sion : the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this▪

That handful of Iews who now were gathered together, and shut up in Ierusalem, shall go out to their several Habitations, and by my singular Blessing increase exceedingly.

The same thing expressed in other words, which is usual in the Hebrew Language.

Although when you reflect upon your selves, and consider either your present fewness, and weakness, or your great unworthiness, this may seem too great a Blessing for you to expect, or believe; yet God will do it from the zeal which he hath, both for his own Name, to Vindicate it from the Blasphemous Reproaches of the Assyrians, and for the good of his undeserving People.
