Isaiah's relationship with Hezekiah, the king of Judah, is significant as it highlights the prophet's influence in the royal court. Hezekiah, known for his religious reforms and trust in God, often sought Isaiah's counsel during times of crisis, such as the Assyrian threat. This interaction underscores the importance of prophetic guidance in the leadership of Israel. This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I have heard your prayer concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria: Persons / Places / Events 1.

As Hezekiah prays, Isaiah is by Divine revelation made cognizant of his prayer, and commissioned to answer it favorably. That he sends his answer, instead of taking it, is indicative of the high status of the prophets at this period, which made it not unseemly that, in spiritual matters, they should claim at least equality with the monarch. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib King of Assyria I have heard. First of all, Hezekiah is assured that his prayer has been "heard." God has "bowed down his ear" to it (ver. 16) - has taken it into his consideration, and has sent a reply. Then the reply follows, in fourteen verses arranged in four strophes or stanzas. The first (vers. 21-24) and second (vers. 25-28) are addressed to Sennacherib, and breathe a tone of scorn and contempt. The third (vers. 29-31), is addressed to Hezekiah, and is encouraging and consolatory. The fourth (vers. 32-34) is an assurance to all whom it may concern, that Jerusalem is safe, that Sennacherib will not take it, that he will not even commence its siege.Parallel Commentaries ...
