Isaiah 36

As the officials from the king of Assyria taunted the people of Jerusalem they made one truthful statement. "Hezekiah can't save you."
We don't have a record, in this passage, of what Hezekiah said to the people, but we can be confident that it was not a proclamation of his own abilities to rescue Jerusalem from the Assyrian army. Hezekiah knew that only the God of Israel welded such power. That is where Hezekiah placed his faith.
