The insolent blasphemous letters and messages which Sennacherib sent him, 2 Chron. 32:9-19. III. The real answer God gave to Sennacherib’s blasphemies, and to Hezekiah’s prayers, in the total rout of the Assyrian army, to the shame of Sennacherib and the honour of Hezekiah, 2 Chron. 32:20-23. IV. Hezekiah’s sickness and his recovery from that, his sin and his recovery from that, with the honours that attended him living and dead, 2 Chron. 32:24-33.
