From Sennacherib's Annals:
>As for Hezekiah, the terrifying splendor of my majesty overcame him, and the Arabs and his mercenary troops which he had brought in to strengthen Jerusalem, his royal city, deserted him.
>In addition to the thirty talents...as well as his daughters, his harem...which he had brought after me to Nineveh, my royal city. To pay tribute and to accept servitude, he dispatched his messengers.
Is this how Yahweh treats his faithful servants? He just lets Hezekiah's wives and daughters get pimped out to a gentile warlord?
>Go and tell Hezekiah that this is what Yahweh, the God of your father David, says: ‘I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria.
