Between the next-to-last verse and the last verse in Isaiah chapter 37 a twenty year space of time lapses. At least that’s the consensus among fundamental Bible scholars.

For two decades, after the massive military defeat of Isaiah 37:36-37, King Sennacherib of Assyria does not even go near Judah!

I guess he had learned his lesson!

But because of all his Jew hatred, his animosity toward God’s chosen people, plus a pretty hefty dose of greed (wanting to extract even more silver and gold from Judah) … the man was doomed!

Now, to that last verse I mentioned … “And it came to pass, as he (King Sennacherib) was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.” Isaiah 37:38

Well!

“Behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.” Numbers 32:23

Murdered by his own sons!

While engaged in heathen, idol worship!

(I guess his god could not protect him … not like Hezekiah’s God protected him!)

God long ago had said/commanded: “Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.” 1 Chronicles 16:22

History … proving theology!

Wow!

Twenty years later, after his inhumane aggression against Judah! God judged this wicked man.

God does not have to hurry!

I am amazed!
