IN SPITE OF the Prophet Isaiah's declaration that no harm would be done to Jerusalem by the Assyrians, there was tension and fear among some of the citizens. (II Chronicles 32:9-10, 18-20; II Kings 19:32-34.) It was a dark night, and thousands upon thousands of enemy soldiers were out there where they couldn't be watched. The people of the city could only guess at what the Assyrians were doing or preparing to do. Jewish records say this night was the evening of the Passover Festival, the 14th day of the first spring month of the year. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
