Isaiah Assures Deliverance

1 And aso it was, when King Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, covered himself with bsackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord.  
2 Then he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
3 And they said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah: ‘This day is a day of trouble, and rebuke, and blasphemy; for the children have come to birth, but there is no strength to1 bring them forth.  
4 aIt may be that the Lord your God will hear all the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to breproach the living God, and will crebuke the words which the Lord your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’ ”  
5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 aAnd Isaiah said to them, “Thus you shall say to your master, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Do not be bafraid of the words which you have heard, with which the cservants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.

2 Kings 19:2

Isaiah is here for the first time introduced into the history. His own writings show us how active a part he had taken in it for many years previously. This was the fourth reign since he began his prophesyings; and during two reigns at least, those of Ahaz and Hezekiah, he had been a familiar counselor of the monarch. He had probably counseled the revolt from Assyria, and had encouraged the king and people to persevere in their resistance. The exact date of prophecies can seldom be fixed with any certainty; but we can scarcely he mistaken in regarding II Kings 10; 30; 31 as written about the time of Hezekiah' s second revolt.
