2 Kings 19:20

2 Kings 19:20

18 and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were ^anot gods, but ^bthe work of men’s hands—wood and stone. Therefore they destroyed them.

19 Now therefore, O Lord our God, I pray, save us from his hand, ^athat all the kingdoms of the earth may ^bknow that You are the Lord God, You alone.”

The Word of the Lord Concerning Sennacherib

20 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ^a‘Because you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, ^bI have heard.’

21 This is the word which the Lord has spoken concerning him:
‘The virgin, ^athe daughter of Zion,
Has despised you, laughed you to scorn;
The daughter of Jerusalem
^bHas shaken her head behind your back!

22 ‘Whom have you reproached and blasphemed?
Against whom have you raised your voice,
And lifted up your eyes on high?
Against ^athe Holy One of Israel.

Then Isaiah . . . sent—A revelation having been made to Isaiah, the prophet announced to the king that his prayer was heard. The prophetic message consisted of three different portions:—First, Sennacherib is apostrophized (II Kings 19:21-28) in a highly poetical strain, admirably descriptive of the turgid vanity, haughty pretensions, and presumptuous impiety of the Assyrian despot. Secondly, Hezekiah is addressed (II Kings 19:29-31), and a sign is given him of the promised deliverance—namely, that for two years the presence of the enemy would interrupt the peaceful pursuits of husbandry, but in the third year the people would be in circumstances to till their fields and vineyards and reap the fruits as formerly. Thirdly, the issue of Sennacherib's invasion is announced (II Kings 19:32-34).
