In an attempt to appease the Assyrian king and prevent the destruction of Jerusalem, Hezekiah decided to pay a tribute. This act of giving silver reflects the political pressure and desperation of the time. It also highlights the economic strain on Judah, as silver was a valuable commodity. The act of giving all the silver indicates the severity of the situation and Hezekiah's willingness to sacrifice wealth for the safety of his people.<p><b>that was found in the house of the LORD</b><br>The house of the LORD refers to the temple in Jerusalem, which was the center of worship and religious life for the Israelites. The temple was not only a spiritual center but also a repository for wealth and offerings dedicated to God. By taking silver from the temple, Hezekiah was making a significant decision, prioritizing immediate political needs over religious sanctity. This action can be seen as a moment of crisis where the king had to weigh the physical survival of his people against the spiritual and religious implications of depleting the temple's resources.<p><b>and in the treasuries of the royal palace.</b><br>The royal palace treasuries were the storehouses for the wealth of the kingdom, including taxes, tributes, and other revenues. By taking silver from both the temple and the palace, Hezekiah was exhausting all available resources to meet the demands of the Assyrian king. This reflects the dire circumstances faced by Judah and the lengths to which Hezekiah was willing to go to protect his kingdom. Historically, this event underscores the constant threat posed by powerful empires like Assyria to smaller nations like Judah. It also illustrates the political and economic challenges faced by the kings of Judah during this period.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hezekiah.htm">Hezekiah</a></b><br>The king of Judah, known for his faithfulness to God and his efforts to rid Judah of idolatry.
