His father, Amoz, is not widely mentioned, indicating Isaiah's prominence is due to his prophetic calling. Hezekiah, the king of Judah, is facing a dire threat from the Assyrian empire. This context highlights the importance of prophetic guidance in times of national crisis. Isaiah's role as a prophet is to convey God's will, serving as a mediator between God and the king.“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: The phrase underscores the authority of the message. The LORD, or Yahweh, is the covenant name of God, emphasizing His relationship with Israel. This introduction is typical of prophetic declarations, affirming that the message is not of human origin but divine. It reassures Hezekiah that God is actively involved in the affairs of His people, a recurring theme in the Old Testament.Because you have prayed to Me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria: Hezekiah's prayer is a pivotal moment, demonstrating the power and importance of seeking God in times of distress. Sennacherib, the Assyrian king, represents a formidable threat, having already conquered much of the region. This historical context highlights the Assyrian empire's expansionist policies and their impact on smaller nations like Judah. Hezekiah's reliance on prayer rather than military might or alliances reflects a deep trust in God's sovereignty. This act of faith is reminiscent of other biblical figures who turned to God in crisis, such as Daniel or David. The response to Hezekiah's prayer illustrates the biblical principle that God hears and responds to the prayers of His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a> A major prophet in the Old Testament, son of Amoz, who served as a messenger of God to the people of Judah and Jerusalem.

As such, it will be interesting to note any points of contact that present themselves either with his earlier prophecies or with the great prophetic poem (Isaiah 40-66) traditionally ascribed to him. The prayer of Hezekiah, if he was not present at its utterance, was reported to him, and in the name of Jehovah he was commissioned to reply to it.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/37.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 21. - Then Isaiah... sent to Hezekiah, saying.

But still, it is no doubt possible that some of the facts have been omitted for the sake of brevity. <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/37-21.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 a message 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 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 Because אֲשֶׁר֙ (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that you prayed הִתְפַּלַּ֣לְתָּ (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 to Me אֵלַ֔י (’ê·lay) Preposition | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to concerning אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to Sennacherib סַנְחֵרִ֖יב (san·ḥê·rîḇ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5576.htm">Strong's 5576: </a> Sennacherib -- a king of Assyr king מֶ֥לֶךְ (me·leḵ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> A king of Assyria, אַשּֽׁוּר׃ (’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/isaiah/37-21.htm">Isaiah 37:21 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/isaiah/37-21.htm">Isaiah 37:21 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/isaiah/37-21.htm">Isaiah 37:21 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/isaiah/37-21.htm">Isaiah 37:21 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/isaiah/37-21.htm">Isaiah 37:21 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/37-21.htm">Isaiah 37:21 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/37-21.htm">Isaiah 37:21 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/37-21.htm">Isaiah 37:21 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/37-21.htm">Isaiah 37:21 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/isaiah/37-21.htm">Isaiah 37:21 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/isaiah/37-21.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 37:21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/37-20.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 37:20"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 37:20" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/37-22.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 37:22"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 37:22" /></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>
