19 They spoke about the God of Jerusalem as though he were the work of human hands, like the gods of the other peoples of the earth.
20 King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah, Amoz’s son, prayed about this, crying out to heaven.
21 Then the Lord sent a messenger who destroyed every warrior, leader, and officer in the camp of the Assyrian king. When Sennacherib went home in disgrace, he entered the temple of his god, and his own sons killed him with a sword.
22 This is how the Lord rescued Hezekiah and the citizens of Jerusalem from the power of Assyria’s King Sennacherib, and all others, giving them rest on all sides.
23 Many people brought offerings to the Lord in Jerusalem and costly gifts to Judah’s King Hezekiah, who was highly regarded by all the nations from then on.
24 Around that same time, Hezekiah became deathly ill and prayed to the Lord, who answered him with a miraculous sign.
25 But Hezekiah was too proud to respond appropriately to the kindness he had received, and he, along with Judah and Jerusalem, experienced anger.
