The descent which Sennacherib made upon him, and the care he took to fortify himself, his city, and the minds of his people, against that enemy, 2 Chronicles 32:1-8. II. The insolent blasphemous letters and messages which Sennacherib sent him, 2 Chronicles 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 Chronicles 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 Chronicles 32:24-33.
