Context of 2 Chronicles 32:22
20Then King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz, prayed about this and called to heaven. 21The Lord sent an angel who exterminated all the soldiers, officials, and commanders in the Assyrian king’s camp. Humiliated, Sennacherib returned to his own country. When he went into the temple of his god, some of his own sons killed him with a sword. So the Lord saved Hezekiah and the people living in Jerusalem from King Sennacherib of Assyria and from everyone else. The Lord gave them peace with all their neighbors. 23Many people still went to Jerusalem to bring gifts to the Lord and expensive presents to King Hezekiah of Judah. From then on, he was considered important by all the nations. 24In those days Hezekiah became sick and was about to die. He prayed to the Lord, who answered him and gave him a miraculous sign.
