1. For my sake and for the sake of David (20-34)
The Lord listened to Hezekiah's prayer and answered through Isaiah. Sennacherib had ridiculed God and boasted of his own might; the Lord revealed himself to be the one who ordained it, who planned to use him as his instrument. In the same way he would quench the Assyrian king's rage and send him back where he came from. God honored his name as holy and defended Jerusalem for his sake, and for his servant David.
2. Sennacherib's end (35-37)
In a single night the power of Assyria was eliminated when an angel of the Lord went through their camp. Sennacherib withdrew and was later assassinated by his own sons. The Lord is mighty to save, and he saved Israel for the sake of his name.
