Contextual Overview
8When the Rab-shakeh heard that the king of Assyria had left Lachish, he withdrew and found the king fighting against Libnah. 9Now Sennacherib had been warned about Tirhakah king of Cush: "Look, he has set out to fight against you." So again Sennacherib sent messengers to Hezekiah with the order: 10"Tell Hezekiah king of Judah: 'Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you by saying that Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria. 11Surely you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the other countries, devoting them to destruction. Will you then be spared? 12Did the gods of the nations my fathers have destroyed rescue them-the gods of Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and of the people of Eden who were in Telassar? 13Where are the kings of Hamath, Arpad, Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?'" 14So Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers, read it, and went up to the house of the LORD and spread it out before the LORD. 15And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD: "O LORD, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth. 16Incline Your ear, O LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, O LORD, and see. Listen to the words that Sennacherib has sent to defy the living God.17Truly, O LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste these nations and their lands.
