📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 8th century BC, King Hezekiah of Judah faced a dire threat from the Assyrian empire, which was besieging Jerusalem and demanding surrender after mocking the God of Israel. Hezekiah, in a state of mourning and repentance, sent his high officials, including Eliakim the palace administrator and Shebna the scribe, along with the elders of the priests, all dressed in sackcloth to symbolize humility and desperation, to seek guidance from the prophet Isaiah. This event reflects the ancient Israelite practice of consulting prophets during national crises, as prophets like Isaiah served as God's spokesmen to kings and people.
