📚 Historical Context

In the 8th century BC, during the reign of King Hezekiah of Judah, the Assyrian king Sennacherib invaded and besieged Jerusalem, threatening its destruction as part of his empire's expansion. Hezekiah turned to God in prayer for help, and through the prophet Isaiah, God delivered a message of assurance and judgment against Sennacherib. This verse reflects God's sovereign knowledge of the enemy's actions and motives amid this historical crisis.
