Chapter 19 of 2 Kings narrates the story of King Hezekiah, who received a threatening letter from the king of Assyrian, Senaqueribe, ordering him to surrender or face destruction. Hezekiah sought help in God and received the response of the prophet Isaiah, who assured that God would protect Jerusalem. God fulfilled his promise, and an angel of the Lord killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers at night. Below are five verses from other Bible books that relate to the topics addressed in 2 Kings 19:
Psalm 20:7-8: "Some trust cars, some in horses, but we will mention the name of the Lord our God. Some go to and fall, but we get up and we are standing." This psalm highlights the importance of trusting God in times of crisis rather than depending on human or material resources.
Isaiah 37:35: "For I will defend this city, to rid it, for the sake of me and for the sake of my servant David." This verse is part of God's response to King Hezekiah, ensuring that he would protect Jerusalem from the Assyrians because of his faithfulness and his love for David.
Psalm 91:11-12: "For his angels shall give order to you, to keep you in all your ways. They will support you in your hands, that you do not stumble with your stone foot." This psalm highlights God's protection over those who love him and trust him.
Isaiah 54:17: "No weapon forged against you will prosper; and all the language that rises against you in judgment, you will condemn; this is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and His righteousness to me, says the Lord . " This verse highlights God's promise of protection for those who serve him, and the guarantee that any unjust accusation against them will be refuted.
2 Timothy 4:18: "And the LORD shall rid me of all evil work, and shall take me save to his heavenly kingdom; to who is glory forever and ever. Amen." This verse highlights the apostle Paul's confidence in the protection and deliverance of God in the midst of his tribulations, a confidence that was also demonstrated by King Hezekiah in 2 Kings 19.
