Isaiah, 37

38. And it happened that, as he was adoring his god in the temple of Nisroch, his sons, Adramelech and Sharezer, struck him with the sword. And they fled into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his place.

Verses related to Isaiah, 37:

Isaiah 37 is a chapter that tells the story of King Hezekiah in the midst of a great conflict with Senaqueribe, king of Assyria. In this chapter Hezekiah seeks God in prayer, asking for help and protection against enemies. God then responds to this prayer and protects Jerusalem, destroying the Assyrian army. Below are five verses related to the topics addressed in Isaiah 37, in order of proximity to the chapter.

Psalm 34:4: "I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears." This verse talks about the pursuit of God in the midst of difficulties and how he can free us from fear. This relates to Isaiah 37, where Hezekiah seeks divine aid to face the Assyrian army.

2 Chronicles 20:12: "Ah! God, you will not judge you? For there is no strength in this great multitude that comes against us, and we do not know what we will do; but our eyes are put to you." This verse shows God's dependence on times of weakness and uncertainty, which can also be seen in Isaiah 37, where Hezekiah turns to God in search of guidance and protection.

Psalm 46:1: "God is our refuge and fortress, a good help in anguish." This verse shows God's protection in difficult times, which is evident in Isaiah 37, where God protects Jerusalem from the Assyrian army.

Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust the Lord of all your heart, and do not stir in your own understanding. Recognizes him in all your ways, and he will straighten your paths." This verse talks about the importance of trust in God in all situations, which is evident in the attitude of Hezekiah in Isaiah 37, when he trusts in God in the midst of a difficult situation.

Psalm 118:8-9: "It is better to trust the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to trust the Lord than to trust the princes." This verse talks about the importance of trusting God above all, what is evident in Isaiah 37, where Hezekiah trusts in God rather than trusting his own skills or the help of other leaders.
