misleading you This phrase reflects the psychological warfare employed by the Assyrian king, Sennacherib, against the people of Judah. Hezekiah, the king of Judah, was known for his faithfulness to God and his efforts to reform the religious practices of his people, as seen in <a href="/2_kings/18-3.htm">2 Kings 18:3-6</a>. The Assyrian king's statement is an attempt to undermine Hezekiah's leadership and the people's trust in him.

Hezekiah's reliance on God contrasts with the Assyrian reliance on military might.
