32:1-12
Following the Lord does not mean absence from difficulty, for Assyria invaded Judah. Hezekiah took action and blocked off the water from outside the city, thus depriving Assyria of this supply.. He also worked on building up the defences., and built up the armaments. He organised the army and addressed the troops. He encouraged them to trust in God. The king of Assyria tried to counter this by telling the people not to believe Hezekiah’s words, there was a propaganda war.
32:13-23
Assyria also boasted about her past successes. But theGod of Israel is not like the gods of the nations.Hezekiah and Isaiah called out to the Lord. And the Lord sent an angel to wipe out the Assyrian army. Sennacherib retreated and was killed. So the \lord saved Judah and many brought offerings to the Lord. Hezekiah was highly regarded.
32:24-33
Hezekiah became ill, he prayed and was healed. He also became proud. He eventually died and was succeeded by his son Manasseh.
