2 Kings 19:14-20

14And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of Yhwh, and spread it before Yhwh. 15And Hezekiah prayed before Yhwh, and said, O Yhwh God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth. 16Yhwh, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, Yhwh, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God. 17Of a truth, Yhwh, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands, 18And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.1 19Now therefore, O Yhwh our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art Yhwh God, even thou only.

20Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Yhwh God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.
