Isaiah 37 - 38

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.
