Chapter 36 Assyrian Assault Part 1

Rabshakeh did not use diplomacy but directly
addressed Hezekiah He didn’t call him king
He said he was representing the “great king”
He questioned Hezekiah’s confidence that would allow him to rebel against Assyria
The message was to not trust Hezekiah He
is not capable of deliverance Also don’t trust in your God because He cannot
help you If Jerusalem would surrender they would go into
exile but it would be the alternative of defeat
