Hezekiah’s Prayer and God’s Deliverance (2 Kings 19)
Surrounded by Assyria’s threats, King Hezekiah turns to the Lord in prayer. God answers through the prophet Isaiah,
promising judgment on Assyria and protection for Jerusalem. That very night, the angel of the Lord strikes down
185,000 in the Assyrian camp—reminding us that God alone saves His people and humbles the nations.
