Hezekiah Seeks Isaiah’s Help

1 ^cAs soon as King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth and went into the house of the Lord. 2 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the secretary, and the senior priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet ^dIsaiah the son of Amoz. 3 They said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah, ‘This day is a ^eday of distress, of rebuke, and of disgrace; ^fchildren have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to bring them forth. 4 ^gIt may be that the Lord your God will hear the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to mock the living God, and will rebuke the words that the Lord your God has heard; therefore lift up your prayer for ^hthe remnant that is left.’”

5 When the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah, 6 Isaiah said to them, “Say to your master, ‘Thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the young men of the king of Assyria have reviled me. 7 Behold, ⁱI will put a spirit in him, so that ^jhe shall hear a rumor and return to his own land, and ^kI will make him fall by the sword in his own land.’”
