And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 1 is found in chapter 19 of 2 Kings. Hezekiah tears his clothes and enters the temple while sending his officials to consult Isaiah. The prophet responds that the king of Assyria will receive a report that will cause him to return to his own land, where he will die. The situation apparently dominated by Assyria begins to change through a word whose fulfillment is not yet visible. The passage shows a form of leadership different from immediate military reaction: in the face of an extreme threat, Hezekiah brings the crisis to God and seeks prophetic interpretation. Hope is founded on the word of the Lord, not on Judah’s military superiority.
