His reign is documented in <a href="/2_kings/18.htm">2 Kings 18-20</a>, <a href="/2_chronicles/29.htm">2 Chronicles 29-32</a>, and <a href="/isaiah/36.htm">Isaiah 36-39</a>. Hezekiah's leadership during the Assyrian siege is a pivotal moment in Judah's history. The message is delivered by the Assyrian envoys, reflecting the political tension and the threat posed by the Assyrian empire, which was the dominant power in the region at the time.Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you: This phrase reflects the Assyrian king Sennacherib's attempt to undermine Hezekiah's faith in Yahweh. It highlights the spiritual warfare aspect of the conflict, where the Assyrians not only challenge Judah militarily but also spiritually. The Assyrians had a history of conquering nations and their gods, and this statement is meant to instill doubt in Hezekiah's reliance on God. This echoes the serpent's deception in <a href="/genesis/3.htm">Genesis 3:1</a>, where doubt is cast on God's word.by saying that Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria: Jerusalem, the capital of Judah, was under threat from the Assyrian army, known for its military prowess and brutality. The Assyrians had already conquered the northern kingdom of Israel and many other nations, making their threat credible. However, this statement is a direct challenge to the prophetic assurances given to Hezekiah by Isaiah, who had prophesied that Jerusalem would be spared (<a href="/isaiah/37-33.htm">Isaiah 37:33-35</a>).

Sennacherib drops the fiction that he himself is sent by Jehovah to attack Judaea and destroy it (<a href="/2_kings/18-25.htm">2 Kings 18:25</a>), and contents himself with suggesting that any announcements which Hezekiah may have received from his God are untrustworthy.
