Sennacherib invading Judah, Hezekiah fortifies himself, and encourages his people9. Hezekiah and Isaiah pray against the blasphemies of Sennarchib 21. An angel destroys the host of the Assyrians 24. Hezekiah praying in his sickness, God gives him a sign of recovery 25. His proud heart is humbled by God 27. His wealth and works 31. His error in the ambassage of Babylon 32. He dying, Manasseh succeeds him Who among all the gods of these nations that my fathers devoted to destruction This phrase reflects the Assyrian king Sennacherib's arrogance and his belief in the superiority of his gods over those of the nations he conquered. Historically, the Assyrians were known for their military prowess and their practice of deporting conquered peoples, which often included the destruction of local religious sites. The phrase "devoted to destruction" echoes the biblical concept of herem, where certain things were set apart for destruction as an offering to God (see Joshua 6:17-21). This highlights the Assyrian belief that their victories were sanctioned by their deities. Theologically, this sets the stage for a confrontation between the God of Israel and the gods of the nations, reminiscent of Elijah's challenge to the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18. has been able to deliver his people from my hand? How then can your God deliver you from my hand? Persons / Places / Events 1. SennacheribThe Assyrian king who invaded Judah and laid siege to Jerusalem. He is known for his arrogance and blasphemy against the God of Israel. 2. Hezekiah The king of Judah during Sennacherib's invasion. He was a faithful king who trusted in the Lord and sought His guidance in times of trouble. 3. Jerusalem The capital city of Judah, which was under siege by Sennacherib's forces. It was a focal point of God's deliverance. 4. Assyria A powerful empire known for its military might and conquests. It was a significant threat to the smaller kingdoms of the region, including Judah. 5. The gods of the nations Refers to the deities worshiped by the nations that Assyria had previously conquered. Sennacherib boasts that none of these gods could save their people. Teaching Points God's Sovereignty Over NationsDespite the power and arrogance of earthly rulers, God remains sovereign and can deliver His people from any threat. The Futility of Idolatry Sennacherib's boast highlights the impotence of false gods. True deliverance comes only from the one true God. Faith in Times of Crisis Hezekiah's response to the Assyrian threat serves as a model of faith and reliance on God through prayer and seeking divine guidance. The Power of Prayer Hezekiah's prayer and God's subsequent deliverance demonstrate the effectiveness of earnest prayer in the face of overwhelming odds. God's Faithfulness to His Promises God's deliverance of Jerusalem is a testament to His faithfulness to His covenant with His people.(14) Who was there among all the gods.--Comp. 2Kings 18:35.
