In the 8th century BC, King Hezekiah of Judah was facing a severe threat from the Assyrian empire under King Sennacherib, who was besieging Jerusalem and demanding surrender. Hezekiah, a faithful reformer who sought to restore worship of God, responded to this crisis by sending his officials to the prophet Isaiah for divine guidance and prayer.
