| | Sennacherib - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | After this, Sennacherib turned to King Hezekiah of Judah, who stubbornly refused to submit to him. | | | His account then ended in the way the God of Israel defeats Sennacherib's army: many of Sennacherib's troops are simply killed in their sleep. | | | According to the Bible, the siege failed, as the angel of Yahweh went forth and struck down 185,000 men in the Assyrian camp (2 Kings 19:35). |

| | Sennacherib based his criticism of Hezekiah on the assumption that Israel's God could not be pleased with having only one altar. | | | On the basis of this common belief, Sennacherib insisted that the gods of [other] nations were unable to deliver their land from [his] hand (32:13). | | | In fact, all the gods of the lands were unable to withstand the Assyrians (32:14a). |

| | SENNACHERIB - Defeat Of One Opposed To God! |
| | Sennacherib thought he knew what Jehovah God desired in worship (this is a hallmark of selfishness!). | | | Sennacherib’s envoys sneered at Hezekiah’s faith and insinuated that the King’s actions of restoration would provoke God’s punishment. | | | Literally Sennacherib’s words are, “Enter into a connection of mutual good wishes with me.” SELF prods such to undermine, slander, and ridicule the leadership so that they will be put in a bad opinion and others will choose to “make peace” when the leadership has determined that such peace is wrong. |
