📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context of 2 Kings 20, King Hezekiah of Judah had recently recovered from a life-threatening illness through a divine miracle arranged by the prophet Isaiah, which included the sun's shadow moving backward as a sign. Babylonian envoys then visited Hezekiah to inquire about this event, reflecting the rising power of Babylon as an emerging empire in the ancient Near East. This encounter underscores the political tensions of the time, as Hezekiah's interaction with them revealed his vulnerability to pride and foreign influences, foreshadowing Judah's future judgment.
