IN THIS LESSON

Chapters 36-37 depict a dramatic moment of Israel’s history, where the kingdom of Judah faces the overwhelming threat of Assyrian invasion under King Sennacherib. These chapters recount the tension-filled confrontation between the Assyrian forces surrounding the walls of Jerusalem. The enemy mocks the God of Israel, but King Hezekiah responds with humility and prayer, seeking God’s help. In these chapters, we witness God’s power to deliver His people in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, as He answers Hezekiah’s prayer and miraculously defeats the Assyrians.
