2 Kings 19:2-20

2Then he sent Eliakim, who was in charge of the household, with Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests, 1covered with sackcloth, to 2Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. 3And they said to him, “This is what Hezekiah says: ‘This day is a day of distress, rebuke, and humiliation; for children have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to deliver them. 43Perhaps the Lord your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent 4to taunt the living God, and will avenge the words which the Lord your God has heard. Therefore, offer a prayer for 5the remnant that is 6left.’” 5So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 6And Isaiah said to them, “This is what you shall say to your master: ‘The Lord says this: “Do not be fearful because of the words that you have heard, with which the 7servants of the king of Assyria 8have blasphemed Me. 7Behold, I am going to put a spirit in him so that 9he will hear news and return to his own land. And 10I will make him fall by the sword in his own land.”’”

8Then Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria fighting against 11Libnah, for he had heard that the king had left 12Lachish. 9When he heard them say about Tirhakah king of 13Cush, “Behold, he has come out to fight you,” he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying, 10“This is what you shall say to Hezekiah king of 14Judah: ‘Do not 15let your God in whom you trust deceive you by saying, “16Jerusalem will not be handed over to the king of Assyria.” 11Behold, you yourself have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, destroying them completely. So will you be saved? 1217Did the gods of the nations which my fathers destroyed save them: 18Gozan, 19Haran, Rezeph, and 20the sons of Eden who were in Telassar? 1321Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, and of Hena and Ivvah?’”

14Then 22Hezekiah took the 23letter from the hand of the messengers and read it, and he went up to the house of the Lord and 24spread it out before the Lord. 15Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said, “Lord, God of Israel, 2526enthroned above the cherubim, 27You are the God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. 1628Incline Your ear, Lord, and hear; 29open Your eyes, Lord, and see; and listen to the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent 30to taunt the living God. 17It is true, Lord; the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands, 18and have 31hurled their gods into the fire; 32for they were not gods, but only the work of human hands, wood and stone. So they have destroyed them. 19But now, Lord our God, please, save us from his hand, 33so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, 34Lord, are God.”

20Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent word to Hezekiah, saying, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: ‘Because you have prayed to Me about Sennacherib king of Assyria, 35I have heard you.’
