So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

Verse Takeaways

1

Seek Godly Intercession

Matthew Henry highlights that Hezekiah's action demonstrates a key principle: when we are distressed, especially by attacks on God's honor, we should ask God's servants to pray for us. This act of seeking intercession from a prophet like Isaiah points to our ultimate reliance on the 'great Intercessor,' Jesus Christ, who pleads our case before the Father.
