Invasion of Judah by Assyria
Isaiah 36:2
And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to king Hezekiah with a great army…


In chaps, 36.-39, a historical part follows, which retiring from the ideal distances of chaps, 34., 35. into the historical realities of chap. 33., begins with the statement that "at the conduit of the upper pool in the road of the fuller's field," where Ahaz preferred the help of Assyria to that of Jehovah (Isaiah 7:3), stands an embassy of the King of Assyria with a section of his army.

(F. Delitzsch, D.D.)
