Obedience Framed as Weakness
The Assyrian official cleverly twists Hezekiah's righteous act into an accusation. Hezekiah's removal of the 'high places' was an act of obedience to God's command to have a single, central place of worship. The enemy's propaganda here is to frame this obedience as an act that has angered and weakened Hezekiah's God, a classic tactic of using half-truths to create doubt and fear among God's people.
