16 And his servants continued to speak against the Lord God and Hezekiah his servant.
17 He also wrote letters to insult the Lord God of Israel, speaking against Him, “As the gods of the nations of other lands did not rescue their people from my hand, so the god of Hezekiah will not rescue his people from my hand.”
18 And they proclaimed it also in a loud voice in the Judean language against the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall to frighten and terrify them in order to capture the city.
19 They spoke about the God of Jerusalem like the gods of the other peoples of the earth, which are only objects made by men’s hands.
20 So Hezekiah the king and Isaiah the prophet son of Amoz prayed concerning this. And they called out to heaven.
21 So the Lord sent an angel and destroyed the mighty army, leaders, and officials in the camp of the king of Assyria. So the king returned in shame to his own land. When he entered the temple of his god, some of his sons fell on him there with the sword.
22 So the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and gave them rest on every side.
