Transcription: It was the greatest crisis that Hezekiah and Isaiah ever faced. The very survival of Judah was in peril. Assyria, ever thirsty for more conquests, had just rolled into Judah, leveling 46 walled cities and taking 200,150 captives. The Assyrian king demanded huge sums of money from Hezekiah, whom he mockingly described as a bird in a cage. Makaia might as well have been in a cage, for siege armies completely surrounded his city.
