Welcome to today’s Bible study.

In this episode of 2 Kings 19 (KJV), we continue our verse-by-verse journey through the book of 2 Kings as King Hezekiah seeks the LORD during the Assyrian threat against Jerusalem. This chapter explores prayer, faith, divine judgment, deliverance, and God's sovereignty.

After hearing the Rabshakeh's threats, Hezekiah humbles himself and seeks God's guidance through the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah assures him that the LORD will defend Jerusalem. Sennacherib continues to threaten the city and blaspheme against God, but Hezekiah brings the king's letter into the temple and prays for deliverance, declaring that the LORD alone is God over all kingdoms.

God answers through Isaiah, promising judgment against Assyria and protection for Jerusalem. That night, the angel of the LORD strikes down 185,000 Assyrian soldiers. Sennacherib withdraws and later dies at the hands of his own sons.

Through this chapter, we see the power of prayer, the importance of trusting God in impossible circumstances, and the certainty that no earthly power can overcome the LORD.

Together, we will study this chapter verse-by-verse, exploring its historical context, theological depth, and spiritual lessons about prayer, faith, humility, judgment, deliverance, God's sovereignty, and trusting His promises.
