Contextual Overview

8 Rav-Shakeh returned and, having heard that the king of Ashur had left Lakhish, found him making war with Livnah. 9 Then, on hearing it said that Tirhakah king of Ethiopia was on his way to fight him, the king of Ashur sent messengers to Hizkiyahu, telling them, 10 "This is what you are to say to Hizkiyahu king of Y'hudah: ‘Don't let your God in whom you trust deceive you by saying, "Yerushalayim will not be handed over to the power of the king of Ashur." 11 You have heard what the kings of Ashur have done to all lands — they have completely destroyed them. So how will you be delivered? 12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them? No, my ancestors destroyed them — Gozan, Haran, Retzef and the people of ‘Eden who were in Tel'asar. 13 Where is the king of Hamat? the king of Arpad? the king of the city of S'farvayim, of Hena and ‘Ivah?'" 14 Hizkiyahu took the letter from the messengers' hands and read it. Then Hizkiyahu went up to the house of Adonai and spread it out before Adonai . 15 Hizkiyahu prayed as follows in the presence of Adonai : " Adonai God of Isra'el, who dwells above the k'ruvim! You alone are God of all the kingdoms on earth. You made heaven and earth. 16 Turn your ear, Adonai , and hear! Open your eyes, Adonai , and see! Hear the words that Sancheriv sent to taunt the living God. 17 It is true, Adonai , that the kings of Ashur have laid waste the nations and their lands
