Isaiah [1]
Sennacherib made two attempts in 701 bc to reduce Jerusalem: one from Lachish with an army headed by the Rabshakeh ( Isaiah 36:2 through 37:8), and another from Libnah with a threat conveyed by messengers ( Isaiah 37:9 ). The brief section contained in 2 Kings 18:14-16 is omitted from between 2 Kings 18:1 and 2 Kings 18:2 of Isa 36, because it was not the prophet's aim at this time to recount the nation's humiliation. Isaiah's last "word" concerning Assyria ( Isaiah 37:21-35 ) is one of the prophet's grandest predictions. It is composed of three parts: (1) a taunt-song, in elegiac rhythm, on the inevitable humiliation of Sennacherib ( Isaiah 37:22-29 ); (2) a short poem in different rhythm, directed to Hezekiah, in order to encourage his faith ( Isaiah 37:30-32 ); (3) a definite prediction, in less elevated style, of the sure deliverance of Jerusalem (Copyright Statementthese Files Are Public Domain And Were Generously Provided By The Folks At Wordsearch Software.
