Reading the Bible in Historical Sequence Part 7

31天中的第14天

A psalmist tries to have faith but God seems to ‘have given us up.’ Hezekiah takes Rabshakeh’s letter to the Temple to pray. Under the siege food is very short but Isaiah tells Hezekiah that God will provide. God miraculously destroys the Assyrian force. Sennacherib returns home in shame and is murdered.

Note 2 Kings 19:29–35: We can deduce from verse 29 that ‘this year’ was a year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:8–12). God had provided enough harvest in the previous year to last three years. In verse 35, as in the last plague of Egypt, an angel of death entered the camp and ended the earthly lives of all the 185,000 troops. In 681 BC Sennacherib was murdered by his own sons.
