Contextual Overview

8 The commander heard that the king of Assyria had left Lachish. He found him at Libnah, fighting against that city. 9 Then the king of Assyria heard a report that said, "Tirhakah, the king of Ethiopia, has come to fight against you." So the king of Assyria sent messengers to Hezekiah again. 10 He told them, "Tell King Hezekiah of Judah these things: ‘Don't be fooled by the god you trust when he says Jerusalem will not be defeated by the king of Assyria. 11 You have heard what the kings of Assyria did to all the other countries. We completely destroyed them! Will you be saved? No! 12 Did the gods of those nations save their people? No, my ancestors destroyed them all. They destroyed Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden living in Tel Assar. 13 Where is the king of Hamath? The king of Arpad? The king of the city of Sepharvaim? The kings of Hena and Ivvah?'" 14 Hezekiah received the letters from the messengers and read them. Then he went up to the Lord 's Temple and laid the letters out in front of the Lord . 15 Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said, " Lord , God of Israel, you sit as King above the Cherub angels. You alone are the God who rules all the kingdoms on earth. You made heaven and earth. 16 Lord , please listen to me. Lord , open your eyes and look at this message. Hear the words that Sennacherib sent to insult the living God. 17 It is true, Lord . The kings of Assyria did destroy all those nations.
