Isaiah 37:1-7
37:1 a Hezekiah responded to the threats by seeking the Lord’s favor.• The king tore his clothes and put on burlap as a sign of mourning and prayer.
37:4 b perhaps ... God has heard the Assyrian chief of staff ... defy the living God: Hezekiah’s hope was not based on Judah’s or his own goodness, or the presence of the Temple in Jerusalem; instead, it was based on God responding to Assyria’s blasphemy.
Summary for Isa 37:5-7: 37:5-7 c God answered that he would deal with the Assyrians and rescue the remnant of his people from their distress (see 63:9 d).
