Hezekiah was king of Judah and Hosea was king of Israel, he being made king in the year 730 B. C. After serving for a short time he, with the Israelites was carried away to Assyria, never to re trn, and became what is generally known as the lost tribes of Israel, for what were not carried away, were killed by the armies of Sennacherib. iThis was in fulfillment of the proph-, ecy that for the sins of Israel, which' were the most gross, including idol etry and many other like crimes, the I nation would be utterly destroyed. The few individuals who escaped be- Mng carried away became in later years assimilated with the kingdom of Judah. i The times were very troubulous and the city of Jerusalem was be sieged by the armies of the king of Assyria, Sennacherib, who had sent word to Hezekiah to surrender and to be placed under tribute. Then sent Hezekiah a messenger to Isaiah, ask 'ing him what to do. When the story of the messenger had been told, and the dire extremity of Judah and the fear of the king were made manifest, Isaiah sent word to the king in this language, saying: "Go tell the king, thus saith Jehovah. 'Be not afraid of ;th v..rd- which th'u hast heard, ' wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have l.lasnhcmed me. Be hold. I will put a spirit in him. and he shall herr tidings and shall re turn to his own land: and I will -e.n'me him to full bv the sword in his ovn land.' " So Rabshakah returned and found t a --.nrr n Aisnrrii warrinsr asrainst u 1,11,.. iMrH that hp fnu.va.ent had departed for Lachish. ! I It was now on the eve of a l'g bat tle as mer, looked at it. and in case this should occur, it would cost many lives of the Hebrew people as well as the A-syrians, and it was a great mercy that the battle was averted, and i'" cV.-nc.' ot -ne cksr v enemy to their own home, where the wars were consumated and which in the end saw the fall of the king of Assyria, octuring in his own land, as was spoken by Isaiah. When the word was brought to the kir.fr of Assyria saying that the Israel ites and the peopie of Judah were to be delivered, the king of Assyria sent word to King Hezekiah saying. "Let not thy God in whom thou trusteth deceive thee, saying Jerusalem shall not' be given into the hand of the king of Assyria." Sennacherib was willing to encode that Hezckiah's God had communicated with the king of Jiu'ah. as reported, but felt that not witbstnnding this, as he had a man made god. the God of Israel and Judah was like this and a puny one at that. Sennachrib had been very uccesfu! with his armies and felt that he could easily overcome Judah as well as the Israelites, and so he end word of the conquests he had jm-t maile and said. "Behold thou hast heard what the king of Assyria has done to all lands by destroying them utterly. Shalt thou be deliv ered?" This was the question, and when Hezekiah received this letter, he read it and going to the house of the Lord pleaded the cause of Judah, and the protet tio?i e was expecting because he was the servant of God. And Hezekiah prayed unto Jehovah say ing. "Oh, Jehovah of Hosts. God of Israel, that sittest above the cheru bim, thou art God and thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. In cline thine ear. oh, Jehovah, and hear; open thine eyes, oh, Jehovah, and see; and hear thou all the words of Sennacherib, who was sent to de fy the living God.. Of a truth, oh, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have lain waste all their countries ar.d their lands. And have cast their gof's itito the fire, for they were no gods, but the work of man's hands wood and stone. Therefore, they have destroyed them. - Xow, therefore, oh, Jehovah, our Go3. save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art Je hovah, even thou only. The story is told of General torge Washington when in the cold winter with his army suffering so greatly at Valley Forge, from hunger, cold and inadequate clothing, the Father of His Country went to the woods and there in the solitude, kneeling in the snow, while the wintry blasts were howling about him, with the simplicit faith of a child, asked the help of the God of all the universe, and was re warded by ultimate victory in the end. Hezekiah, who wa3 a true follow er of Jehovah and who had put down the practice of idol worshiping in the kingdom of Judah. had a right to go to God in earnest prayer for help in this his time of dire trouble. Hezekiah had prepared all his ar mies ready for the onset of the bat tle and was ready to do all that he could, and then at his extremity he went to God for the help which he so badly needed. Then was the king of Assyria called home and was kill ed there by his sons as hv been prophecied, and thus was Judah de livered.
