I. The King of Aacyria Invades
Judah (biu. 30).
1. Itubshukeh Meets a Deputation 1
From Judnh (vv. 1-21). Rabshukeli :
was a representative of Sennacherib, j
the king of Assyria, whose mission !
was to Induce Judah to surrender. In .
order to accomplish this he:
(1) Tried to bully them Into sub
mission (vv. 4-0). He taunted them :
with their weakness and told them
that Egypt was a broken reed that
would not only fail of support but
even pierce the hand that reached
out to It. He challenged them by
offering 2,000 horses, if they would
furnish riders for them, if they could
not furnish this small number it
would be futile for them to attempt
to withstand the great Assyrian army.
(2) He asserted that it was use
less for them to put their trust in ]
(iod (v. 10). He even declared that the
Lord had seat him to destroy Judah.
(3) He tried to create a panic
among the people (vv. 13-21). Fear
ing a panic among the people the
deputation of the Jews urged liub
shakeh not to speak in the Jews’ ,
language. Taking up the suggestion
no spake loudly In the Jews’ language,
warning them against trusting in Hezc
klali.
(4) He promised them plenty in an
.her land similar to their own (vv.
Mi, 17). He urged them to make agree
ment with him and upon his return
from Egypt he would take them to a ]
and of plenty, but the people were
loyal to Ilezekiah, for they knew tliut
the cruel Assyrians could not be
trusted.
2. The Deputation Reports to Heze
kiah (v. 22). They rent their garments
doubtless in fear and dismay over
their perilous condition, for the crisis
long before predicted by Isaiah had
now come upon them.
11. Hezekiah’s Behavior (Isa. 37:
1-35).
1. Resorted to the House of the
Lord (v. 1). This is a sure resort of
God’s people In time of distress (Ts.
73:1ft, 17; 77:13). This action was
prompted by faith, for God had prom- j
iseci that those who in time of distress :
resorted to Hls house would be heard
by Him (II Chron. 7:15, 16).
2. Sent Isaiah (vv. 2-7). The logical j
and natural thing for the king to do |
under such eircumstunees was to
send for God s prophet. The prophet
sent back words of encouragement to
Ilezekiah, assuring him that God
wotttd bring deliverance.
a Hezekiah’s Prayer (vv. 14-20-).
liabshnkeh, who seems to have with- |
drawn from Jerusalem for a little j
while, now returns from Sennacherib j
with a letter warning Hezekluh against j
trusting God for deliverance, assuring 1
him that he would be deceived for no
god was able to stand against the As- !
Syrian army. He spread the letter be
fore the Lord and prayed.
(1) He recognized God's throne,
making It the ground of hls plea
(v. 16).
(2) He recognized the peril which
threatened the people (vv. 17-19).
Sennacherib had indeed laid waste the
surrounding nations, but that ruin re
sulted because the gods of the nations
were not real.
(3) He asked for deliverance (v. i
20). lie desired that deliverance |
would come In such away as to vindi
cate and honor the Lord.
4. Isaiah’s Message to Hezekiali (vv. |
21-35).
(1) That Sennacherib's sin was blas
phemy against the Holy One of Israel
(vv. 21-23).
(2) That Sennacherib bad forgotten
that he was an instrument in God’s
hand (vv. 24-28).
(3) Judgment upon Sennacherib was
Imminent (vv. 29-35). Deliverance
would soon come and that through tie
energy of the I-ord of hosts.
111. Destruction ot the Assyrian
Army (vv. 36-38).
The angel of the Lord went forth
aud smote In the camp of the As- j
s-yrinns 185,000 men. so Sennacherib!
was turned back by the way he came.
He did not enter Jerusalem and after j
this defeat he went back to Nineveh
to live and while there worshiping
in the house of his god he was as
sassinated.
