Isaiah 38:6

Listen to Isaiah 38:6
6 And I will save you and this city from the powerful hand of the king of Assyria. I will guard this city.

Isaiah 38:6 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 38:6

And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the
king of Assyria
So that it seems that Hezekiah's sickness was while the king of Assyria was near the city of Jerusalem, and about to besiege it, and before the destruction of the Assyrian army; unless this is said to secure Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from all fears of a return of that king, to give them fresh trouble: and I will defend this city;
from the present siege laid to it, ruin threatened it, or from any attack upon it, by the Assyrian monarch.

4 A message came to me from the Lord. He said,
5 "Go and speak to Hezekiah. Tell him, 'The Lord, the God of King David, says, "I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. I will add 15 years to your life.
6 And I will save you and this city from the powerful hand of the king of Assyria. I will guard this city.
7 " ' "Here is a miraculous sign from me. It will show you that I will heal you, just as I promised I would.
8 The shadow that was made by the sun has gone down ten steps on the stairway of Ahaz. I will make it go back up those ten steps." ' " So the shadow went back up the ten steps it had gone down.
