2 Chronicles 32:20 · BSB
The verses around it, from 2 Chronicles 32.
16 And the servants of Sennacherib spoke further against the LORD God and against His servant Hezekiah.
17 He also wrote letters mocking the LORD, the God of Israel, and saying against Him: “Just as the gods of the nations did not deliver their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand.”
18 Then the Assyrians called out loudly in Hebrew to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten and terrify them in order to capture the city.
19 They spoke against the God of Jerusalem as they had spoken against the gods of the peoples of the earth—the work of human hands.
20 In response, King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz cried out to heaven in prayer,
21 and the LORD sent an angel who annihilated every mighty man of valor and every leader and commander in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he withdrew to his own land in disgrace. And when he entered the temple of his god, some of his own sons struck him down with the sword.
22 So the LORD saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the hands of King Sennacherib of Assyria and all the others, and He gave them rest on every side.
23 Many brought offerings to Jerusalem for the LORD and valuable gifts for Hezekiah king of Judah, and from then on he was exalted in the eyes of all nations.
24 In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. So he prayed to the LORD, who spoke to him and gave him a sign.
