Ɔhene Hesekia de nokorɛdie wiee saa dwumadie yi, Asiriahene Sanaherib bɛto hyɛɛ Yuda so, dii so nkonim. Ɔtuaa nkuro a wɔabɔ ho ban no, na ɔhyɛɛ nʼakodɔm sɛ wɔmmubu wɔn afasuo no, mmɔ nhyɛne mu. 
Ɛberɛ a Hesekia hunuu sɛ Sanaherib asane ayɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛto ahyɛ Yerusalem so no, 
ɔne ne mpanimfoɔ ne nʼasraafoɔ mu afotufoɔ tuu agyina. Wɔsii gyinaeɛ sɛ, wɔbɛsi nsutire no kwan na antene ankɔ kuropɔn no akyi.

Afei, Hesekia miaa ne banbɔ mu, ɔsiesiee ɔfasuo no baabiara a abubuo no, na ɔtoo ɔfasuo foforɔ kaa deɛ ɛwɔ hɔ dada no ho. Ɔsane miaa banbɔ a ɛwɔ Milo a ɛwɔ Dawid kuropɔn no mu no. Afei ɔyɛɛ akodeɛ ne akokyɛm bebree. 
Ɔyii asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ, ma wɔhwɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no so, na ɔhyɛɛ sɛ wɔmmɛhyia no wɔ kuro no ɛpono ano adwaberem hɔ. Na Hesekia kaa nkuranhyɛsɛm kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, 
“Monyɛ den na momma mo bo nyɛ duru. Monnsuro Asiriahene anaa nʼakodɔm kɛseɛ no, na yɛwɔ tumi a ɛso wɔ yɛn afa. 
Ɛwom sɛ ɔwɔ akodɔm kɛseɛ deɛ, nanso wɔyɛ nnipa kɛkɛ. Yɛwɔ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn a ɔbɛboa yɛn, adi ako ama yɛn.” Saa nsɛm a Hesekia, Yudahene kaeɛ yi hyɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no nkuran bebree. 
Ɛberɛ a Asiriahene Sanaherib gu so retua Lakis kuro no, ɔsomaa mpanimfoɔ kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔmfa saa nkra yi nkɔma Hesekia ne ne manfoɔ a wɔwɔ kuro no mu nyinaa: 
“Sɛdeɛ Asiriahene Sanaherib seɛ nie: Ɛdeɛn na mode mo ho to so, na ɛma mo susu sɛ, mobɛtumi agyina Yerusalem tua yi ano? 
Hesekia aka sɛ: ‘Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, bɛgye yɛn afiri Asiriahene nsam.’ Nokorɛm, Hesekia regyegye mo, ama ɛkɔm ne sukɔm akum mo! 
Nokorɛm, deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mote aseɛ ne sɛ, Hesekia no ara na ɔbubuu Awurade asɔreeɛ ne afɔrebukyia no nyinaa. Ɔhyɛɛ Yuda ne Yerusalem sɛ wɔnsom wɔ afɔrebukyia baako pɛ a ɛwɔ Asɔredan no mu no so, na wɔmmɔ afɔdeɛ ahodoɔ wɔ ɛno nko ara so. 
“Nokorɛm, ɛsɛ sɛ mohunu deɛ me ne Asiria ahemfo a aka no ayɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so. Anyame a na wɔwɔ saa aman no so no tumi gyee wɔn nkurɔfoɔ firii me tumi ase?

Na Sanaherib mpanimfoɔ kɔɔ so dii Awurade Onyankopɔn ne ne ɔsomfoɔ Hesekia ho fɛw, twaa no adapaa. 
Ɔhene no sane twerɛɛ nkrataa de buu Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn animtiaa. Ɔtwerɛɛ sɛ: “Sɛdeɛ anyame a wɔwɔ aman ahodoɔ so antumi annye wɔn nkurɔfoɔ amfiri me tumi ase no, saa ara, na Hesekia Onyankopɔn nso bɛdi nkoguo.” 
Asiria mpanimfoɔ a wɔde krataa no baeɛ no teateaam de Hebri kasa kaa saa asɛm yi kyerɛɛ nnipa a wɔaboa wɔn ho ano wɔ kuro no ɔfasuo fasin so, de hunahunaa wɔn, sɛdeɛ wɔbɛtumi afa kuropɔn no a wɔmmerɛ ho. 
Saa mpanimfoɔ yi kasa faa Yerusalem Onyankopɔn yi ho te sɛ abosonsomfoɔ anyame no mu baako a wɔde nnipa nsa na ɛyɛeɛ no. 
Afei, ɔhene Hesekia ne Amos babarima odiyifoɔ Yesaia bɔɔ mpaeɛ denden, frɛɛ ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn no. 
Na Awurade somaa ɔbɔfoɔ, bɛsɛee Asiria akodɔm ne wɔn asahene ne wɔn mpanimfoɔ nyinaa. Na Sanaherib de aniwuo sane kɔɔ ne kurom. Na ɔwuraa ne nyame abosonnan mu no, ɔno ankasa mmammarima no mu baako twee ne so akofena, kumm no. 
Saa ɛkwan yi na Awurade faa so de gyee Hesekia ne Yerusalem manfoɔ nkwa, firii Asiriahene Sanaherib ne wɔn a wɔhunahuna wɔn no nyinaa nsam. Enti, ɛmaa asomdwoeɛ baa asase no so nyinaa. 
Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, aman a atwa wɔn ho ahyia no de obuo ne anidie a ɛnni kabea maa ɔhene Hesekia, na wɔde akyɛdeɛ bebree a ɛyɛ Awurade dea kɔɔ Yerusalem, na wɔde nneɛma a ɛsom bo kɔmaa Ɔhene Hesekia nso. 
Ɛberɛ no mu, Hesekia yaree yarewuo. Ɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ frɛɛ Awurade, maa ɔsaa no yadeɛ daa nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ nwanwasoɔ bi adi kyerɛɛ no.
