And Hezekiah prayed
Hezekiah, the king of Judah, is depicted as a devout leader who turns to God in times of crisis. This act of prayer signifies his reliance on divine intervention rather than solely on military or political solutions. Historically, Hezekiah's reign was marked by religious reforms and a return to the worship of Yahweh, as seen in 2 Kings 18:3-6. His prayer life is a model of faith and dependence on God, reflecting the biblical principle found in Philippians 4:6, which encourages believers to present their requests to God through prayer.

to the LORD:
The use of "LORD" in all capital letters indicates the Hebrew name Yahweh, the covenant name of God, emphasizing a personal and relational aspect of God with His people. This invocation of Yahweh highlights the covenant relationship between God and Israel, reminding readers of God's promises and faithfulness. Theologically, it underscores the importance of approaching God with reverence and recognition of His sovereignty, as seen in the broader narrative of the Old Testament where God is consistently portrayed as the protector and deliverer of Israel.
