2 Kings 19:5 In-Context

3 They said to him, "This is what Hezekiah says: 'Today is a day of distress, rebuke, and disgrace, for children have come to the point of birth, but there is no strength to deliver [them].
4 Perhaps the Lord your God will hear all the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria sent to mock the living God, and will rebuke [him for] the words that the Lord your God has heard. Therefore, offer a prayer for the surviving remnant.' "
5 So the servants of King Hezekiah went to Isaiah,

7 I am about to put a spirit in him, and he will hear a rumor and return to his own land where I will cause him to fall by the sword.' "
