The king, troubled, goes to the Temple and prays before the Lord. The prayer has three parts: 1. Hezekiah acknowledges that his God is sovereign over all the kingdoms of the world because He created the heavens and the earth (15). 2. The Lord is exalted above the earth, and He is begged to listen and see the insults directed at both God and His chosen people (16). 3. Therefore, the living God of Israel must intervene so that the whole world may know He is the One and Only (19).
