This one's about 2kings 18-19. I've read it before recently, but this morning I find myself reading it again. The gist of what goes on this: Hezekiah is king, and the Assyrians are threatening him. The Assyrians make proud boasts against the Lord, claiming that the Lord sent them to overthrow Judah. The messenger from the Assyrians was trying to ( Read more... )
