Isaiah 37:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 37:11

9 And the king heard concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “He has come out to make war with you.” So when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

10 “Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: ‘Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”

11 Look! You have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by utterly destroying them; and shall you be delivered?

12 Have the ^agods of the nations delivered those whom my fathers have destroyed, Gozan and Haran and Rezeph, and the people of Eden who were in Telassar?

13 Where is the king of ^aHamath, the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?’ ”

14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord.

15 Then Hezekiah prayed to the Lord, saying:

16 “O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, the One who dwells between the cherubim, You are God, You ^aalone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.

17 ^aIncline Your ear, O Lord, and hear; open Your eyes, O Lord, and see; and ^bhear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to reproach the living God.
