All the kingdoms of the surrounding lands were afraid of God when they heard how the LORD had fought against Israel’s enemies.Jehoshaphat’s kingdom enjoyed peace; his God made him secure on every side.
The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the wild beasts, all the things that creep on the ground, and all people who live on the face of the earth will shake at my presence. The mountains will topple, the cliffs will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground.I will call for a sword to attack Gog on all my mountains, declares the sovereign LORD; every man’s sword will be against his brother.I will judge him with plague and bloodshed. I will rain down on him, his troops and the many peoples who are with him a torrential downpour, hailstones, fire, and brimstone.I will exalt and magnify myself; I will reveal myself before many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’
King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz prayed about this and cried out to heaven.The LORD sent a messenger and he wiped out all the soldiers, princes, and officers in the army of the king of Assyria. So Sennacherib returned home humiliated. When he entered the temple of his god, some of his own sons struck him down with the sword.The LORD delivered Hezekiah and the residents of Jerusalem from the power of King Sennacherib of Assyria and from all the other nations. He made them secure on every side.
