Hezekiah Consults Isaiah
37 And this happened: When King Hezekiah heard, he tore his garments, covered himself with sackcloth, and entered the temple[fn] of Yahweh. 2 And he sent Eliakim, who was in charge of[fn] the palace,[fn] and Shebna the secretary, and the elders of the priestscovered[fn] with sackcloth to Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet. 3 And they said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah: ‘This day is a day of distress, rebuke, and disgrace, for children have come to the cervical opening, and there is no strength to give birth. 4 Maybe Yahweh your God heard the words of Rabshakeh whom the king of Assyria, his master, has sent to taunt the living God, and he will rebuke the words that Yahweh your God hears. And you must lift up a prayer for the benefit of the remnant that is found.’ ”
5 When[fn] the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah, 6 Isaiah said to them, “You must say this to your master: ‘Thus says Yahweh: “You must not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. 7 Look! I am about to put[fn] a spirit in himso that[fn] he shall hear a rumor and he shall return to his land, and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his land.” ’ ”
8 And Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah, for he had heard that he had left from Lachish.
9 Now[fn] he[fn] heard concerning Tirhakah the king of Cush, saying, “He has set out to fight against[fn] you.”When[fn] he heardit, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying, 10 “You shall say this to Hezekiah, king of Judah: ‘Do not let your God in whom you trust in him deceive you by saying, “Jerusalem will 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 to destroy them, and you—shall you be delivered? 12 Did the gods of the nations that my predecessors[fn] destroyed deliver them—Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the sons of Eden whowere in Telassar? 13 Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, or[fn] Ivvah?’ ”
Hezekiah’s Prayer
14 And Hezekiah took the letter from the hand of the messengers, and he read[fn] it. Then[fn] he went upto the temple[fn] of Yahweh, and Hezekiah spread it out before thepresence[fn] of Yahweh. 15 And Hezekiah prayed to Yahweh, saying, 16 “Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel who is enthroned on[fn] the cherubim, youare the one, God by yourself, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you are the one who made the heavens and the earth. 17 Yahweh, extend your ear and hear! Yahweh, open your eyes and see, and hear all the words of Sennacherib that he has sent to taunt the living God! 18 Truly, Yahweh, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the lands[fn] and their land, 19 to set[fn] their gods in the fire, for theywere not gods, but the work of human hands, wood and stone, and they destroyed them. 20 So[fn] now, Yahweh, our God, save us from his hand so that[fn] all the kingdoms of the earth may know that youare Yahweh, you alone!”
God’s Answer
21 And Isaiah son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: ‘Because you have prayed to me concerning[fn] Sennacherib, king of Assyria,
To the holy one of Israel!
Now I have brought it about,
and it is for fortified cities to collapse into heaps of destroyed stones.
and I will turn you back on the way by which you came.
30 And this shall be the sign for you: the eating of volunteer plants[fn] this[fn] year, and in the second year self-seeded plants,[fn] and in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. 31 And the remnant of the house of Judah that remain shall grow[fn] roots[fn] downwards and make fruit upwards.
The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.’
declares[fn] Yahweh.
35 ‘And I will defend this city, to save it for my sake and for the sake of David, my servant.’ ”
Sennacherib’s Defeat
36 And the angel of Yahweh set out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When[fn] they rose in the morning, look! All of themwere dead corpses. 37 Then[fn] Sennacherib king of Assyria left, went, and returned and lived at Nineveh. 38 And this happened: he was bowing in worship in the house of Nisroch his god, and Adrammelech and Sharezer, his sons, struck him with the sword. And they themselves escaped to the land of Ararat, and Esar-haddon his son reigned as king in his place.
