Introduction
Hezekiah as greatly distressed, and sends to Isaiah to pray for him, 2 Kings 19:1-4 . Isaiah returns a comfortable answer, and predicts the destruction of the king of Assyria and his army, 2 Kings 19:5-8 . Sennacherib, hearing that his kingdom was invaded by the Ethiopians, sends a terrible letter to Hezekiah, to induce him to surrender, 2 Kings 19:9-13 . Hezekiah goes to the temple, spreads the letter before the Lord, and makes a most affecting prayer, 2 Kings 19:14-19 . Isaiah is sent to him to assure him that his prayer is heard; that Jerusalem shall be delivered; and that the Assyrians shall be destroyed, 2 Kings 19:20-34 . That very night a messenger of God slays one hundred and eighty-five thousand Assyrians, 2 Kings 19:35 . Sennacherib returns to Nineveh, and is slain by his own sons, 2 Kings 19:36 , 2 Kings 19:37 .
