The Hebrews were at the point of frustration due to the Assyrian invasion. However, God promised them that they would be delivered; and not an arrow would be fired in the battle. The next morning, over 185,000 of the Assyrian army lay dead; the rest fled home. The leader was later assassinated in his hometown by his own family. God prevailed.
King Hezekiah then faced another challenge - this one to his own health and livelihood. Unless he repented, God would take his life. Due to his repentence, God prolonged his life for 15 years.
