Welcome back to Reading with Ben! Let's continue the lecture on the book of 2 Kings.
This is episode #10 chapters 19 & 20.
2 Kings Chapter 19, begins with King Hezekiah of Judah being told that the Assyrian commander is set to conquer his land. He tears his clothes and puts on mourning. Then the king sends the administrator of his palace, called Eliakim and his secretary, called Shebna, and some priests to Isaiah, who is a prophet.
2 Kings Chapter 20, is about Hezekiah’s sickness. The prophet Isaiah, who was the son of Amoz, visited him and told him that the Lord said Hezekiah should put his house in order because he will not recover from his sickness. Hezekiah then turned away from him and prayed to God. While doing this, he wept bitterly.
