1. King Hezekiah is celebrated in Scripture for turning Judah away from idolatry and ushering in a reformation that brought the nation back to obedience to the Lord—"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33

2. The proud enemy came and boasted against God’s people with terrible threats, but ultimately these threats were not merely against God’s people, they were against the Lord God Himself, who will always be victorious—“So it shall be, when you are on the verge of battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people. And he shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel: Today you are on the verge of battle with your enemies. Do not let your heart faint, do not be afraid, and do not tremble or be terrified because of them; ‘for the LORD your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’” Deuteronomy 20:2-4

3. Rather than attempting to engage the enemy by relying upon human logic or fleshly strength, King Hezekiah & the people sought the Lord and placed their trust in Him to be their deliverer—“Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” Psalm 50:15
