Hezekiah was a king known for his faithfulness to God, as seen in his efforts to restore the worship of Yahweh and his reliance on God during the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem. This interaction occurs after Hezekiah's recovery from illness and his subsequent display of wealth to Babylonian envoys, which sets the stage for Isaiah's prophecy. The relationship between Isaiah and Hezekiah is significant, as Isaiah served as a spiritual advisor to the king, providing guidance and delivering God's messages.<p><b>“Hear the word of the LORD of Hosts:</b><br>The phrase "word of the LORD of Hosts" emphasizes the authority and power of the message being delivered. "LORD of Hosts" is a title that underscores God's sovereignty over the armies of heaven and earth, reflecting His ultimate control over all nations and events. This title is often used in contexts where God's power and majesty are being highlighted, especially in matters of judgment or deliverance. The call to "hear" indicates the importance and urgency of the message, suggesting that it carries significant consequences for Hezekiah and the nation of Judah.
