18 aThen they called out with a loud voice in1 Hebrew to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them and trouble them, that they might take the city.
19 And they spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth—athe work of men’s hands.
Sennacherib’s Defeat and Death
20 aNow because of this King Hezekiah and bthe prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, prayed and cried out to heaven.
21 aThen the Lord sent an angel who cut down every mighty man of valor, leader, and captain in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned bshamefaced to his own land. And when he had gone into the temple of his god, some of his own offspring struck him down with the sword there.
22 Thus the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and1 guided them on every side.
23 And many brought gifts to the Lord at Jerusalem, and apresents to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was bexalted in the sight of all nations thereafter.
Hezekiah Humbles Himself
24 aIn those days Hezekiah was sick and near death, and he prayed to the Lord; and He spoke to him and gave him a sign.
