His father, Amoz, is mentioned to establish his lineage and authority. Isaiah's relationship with Hezekiah, the king of Judah, is significant as it highlights the prophet's influence in the royal court. Hezekiah, known for his religious reforms and trust in God, often sought Isaiah's counsel during times of crisis, such as the Assyrian threat. This interaction underscores the importance of prophetic guidance in the leadership of Israel.This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: The phrase emphasizes the divine authority behind Isaiah's message. The use of "LORD" (YHWH) signifies the covenant name of God, reminding Hezekiah of God's promises to Israel. The title "God of Israel" reinforces the special relationship between God and His chosen people. This introduction assures Hezekiah that the message is not merely Isaiah's opinion but a direct communication from God, providing comfort and assurance in a time of national distress.I have heard your prayer concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria: Hezekiah's prayer, recorded earlier in the chapter, was a plea for deliverance from the Assyrian threat. Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, was known for his military campaigns and attempts to conquer Jerusalem. This phrase highlights God's responsiveness to sincere prayer and His power over earthly rulers. It also reflects the biblical theme of God hearing and answering the prayers of His people, as seen in other scriptures like <a href="/psalms/34-17.htm">Psalm 34:17</a> and <a href="/james/5-16.htm">James 5:16</a>.

As Hezekiah prays, Isaiah is by Divine revelation made cognizant of his prayer, and commissioned to answer it favorably. That he sends his answer, instead of taking it, is indicative of the high status of the prophets at this period, which made it not unseemly that, in spiritual matters, they should claim at least equality with the monarch. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib King of Assyria I have heard. First of all, Hezekiah is assured that his prayer has been "heard." God has "bowed down his ear" to it (ver. 16) - has taken it into his consideration, and has sent a reply. Then the reply follows, in fourteen verses arranged in four strophes or stanzas. The first (vers. 21-24) and second (vers. 25-28) are addressed to Sennacherib, and breathe a tone of scorn and contempt. The third (vers. 29-31), is addressed to Hezekiah, and is encouraging and consolatory. The fourth (vers. 32-34) is an assurance to all whom it may concern, that Jerusalem is safe, that Sennacherib will not take it, that he will not even commence its siege. <a href="/commentaries/2_kings/19-20.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Then Isaiah יְשַֽׁעְיָ֣הוּ (yə·ša‘·yā·hū) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3470.htm">Strong's 3470: </a> Isaiah -- 'salvation of Yah', four Israelites son בֶן־ (ḇen-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Amoz אָמ֔וֹץ (’ā·mō·wṣ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_531.htm">Strong's 531: </a> Amoz -- 'strong', the father of Isaiah sent וַיִּשְׁלַח֙ (way·yiš·laḥ) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7971.htm">Strong's 7971: </a> To send away, for, out a message to אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to Hezekiah: חִזְקִיָּ֖הוּ (ḥiz·qî·yā·hū) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2396.htm">Strong's 2396: </a> Hezekiah -- 'Yah has strengthened', a king of Judah, also several other Israelites “This is what כֹּֽה־ (kōh-) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3541.htm">Strong's 3541: </a> Like this, thus, here, now the LORD, יְהוָה֙ (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel the God אֱלֹהֵ֣י (’ĕ·lō·hê) Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_430.htm">Strong's 430: </a> gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlative of Israel, יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc says: אָמַ֤ר (’ā·mar) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say I have heard שָׁמָֽעְתִּי׃ (šā·mā·‘ə·tî) Verb - Qal - Perfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8085.htm">Strong's 8085: </a> To hear intelligently your prayer הִתְפַּלַּ֧לְתָּ (hiṯ·pal·lal·tā) Verb - Hitpael - Perfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6419.htm">Strong's 6419: </a> To judge, to intercede, pray concerning אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to Sennacherib סַנְחֵרִ֥ב (san·ḥê·riḇ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5576.htm">Strong's 5576: </a> Sennacherib -- a king of Assyr king מֶֽלֶךְ־ (me·leḵ-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> A king of Assyria. אַשּׁ֖וּר (’aš·šūr) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_804.htm">Strong's 804: </a> Ashshur <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/2_kings/19-20.htm">2 Kings 19:20 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/2_kings/19-20.htm">2 Kings 19:20 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/2_kings/19-20.htm">2 Kings 19:20 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/2_kings/19-20.htm">2 Kings 19:20 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/2_kings/19-20.htm">2 Kings 19:20 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/2_kings/19-20.htm">2 Kings 19:20 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/2_kings/19-20.htm">2 Kings 19:20 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/2_kings/19-20.htm">2 Kings 19:20 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/2_kings/19-20.htm">2 Kings 19:20 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/2_kings/19-20.htm">2 Kings 19:20 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/2_kings/19-20.htm">OT History: 2 Kings 19:20 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent (2Ki iiKi ii ki 2 kg 2kg) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/2_kings/19-19.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="2 Kings 19:19"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="2 Kings 19:19" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/2_kings/19-21.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="2 Kings 19:21"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="2 Kings 19:21" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
