2 Kings 18: Hezekiah Trusts the LORD Against Assyria

Hezekiah becomes king of Judah, removes the hilltop shrines, destroys the bronze snake people burned incense to, and trusts the LORD like no other king of Judah. Sennacherib invades and Hezekiah pays tribute, yet an Assyrian envoy mocks his trust in God; the people keep silent, and his officials report back in grief.
