This very long, two-chapter story tells about a time of imminent danger concluding with an awesome miracle, the invasion of Sennacherib and the overnight decimation of his army. The basic story about this event is found in the Books of II Kings 18-13- 20:19 and II Chronicles 32:1–33. These events are told in the Book of the Kings as part of the story of the reign of the Judean King Hezekiah, and explained here from the perspective of God as told through His prophet Isaiah. The reason for its placement at this point seems to be that after foretelling (Isaiah Chapter 32) the destruction of Jerusalem and then continuing with the downfall of its enemies and the ultimate redemption of Israel, the Book testifies to the truth of Isaiah’s prophecy. Hezekiah’s faith and righteousness were impeccable. God permitted the Assyrians to invade his kingdom and humble him because of the shortcomings of the people of Judah, not of Hezekiah. Although he succeeded in ending the spiritual atrocities of his father, King Ahaz, the nation as a whole did not rise to his level, and his personal merit was not immediately sufficient to shield them from Assyrian attack. He eventually placed all his trust in God for his circumstances after consultation with Isaiah.
