Commentators observe that Isaiah came to Hezekiah uninvited, sent by God. This contrasts with times of crisis when the king desperately sought the prophet's counsel. Scholars like Calvin note that this demonstrates a prophet's duty to confront sin and offer guidance, even when leaders are comfortable in their prosperity and not asking for help.
