2 Kings 19:14–20

¹⁴And Hezekiah received the ^dletter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord. ¹⁵And ^eHezekiah prayed before the Lord, and said, O Lord God of Israel, which dwellest ^fbetween the cherubims, ^gthou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth. ¹⁶Lord, ^hbow down thine ear, and hear: ⁱopen, Lord, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him ^kto reproach the living God. ¹⁷Of a truth, Lord, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands, ¹⁸and have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but ^lthe work of men’s hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them. ¹⁹Now therefore, O Lord our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, ^mthat all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord God, even thou only.

²⁰Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria ⁿI have heard.
