2 Kings 18 - 19
Hezekiah rules in the nation of Judah. No king ruled before or after him with a caliber to rival his. He followed God whole-heartedly. During his reign, a siege was conducted by Sennacherib, the king of Assyria (the same nation that took the nation of Israel captive). When the Assyrians threatened Judah, the prophet Isaiah assured King Hezekiah that God would provide for the nation's protection. Hezekiah leaves the matter with God, and God miraculously provides for the nation's defense by striking down a large portion of the invading force in their sleep. Sennacherib returns home with no spoils of war and with a depleted army.
