2 Kings 20:1
Summary for 2Kgs 20:1-19: 20:1-19 a About that time: This general time reference indicates that the order of events is thematic rather than chronological. The episode concerning Merodach-baladan (20:12-19 b), whom Sennacherib had driven from Babylon before 701 BC, happened earlier than the events of chs 18–19 c but after Hezekiah’s illness (20:12 d). 20:1 e Since Isaiah was already active in Hezekiah’s reign before Sennacherib moved to take Jerusalem, he was readily available to the king during that emergency (19:2 f).• Set your affairs in order: Hezekiah’s illness was terminal.
