2 Chronicles 29-32
Perhaps as much as any other ruler, Sennacherib met defeat as a result of his arrogance. Outside Jerusalem, Sennacherib taunts Judah saying that their god cannot protect them anymore then the gods of all the other nations that he has conquered. His arrogance was in thinking that his ability to defeat non-existent gods, would help him in defeating the one and only God. Sennacherib went home with far fewer men. That should have been a lesson for Hezekiah, but he too fell to pride. Through grace and Hezekiah's decision to humble himself before the Lord, he was spared, but his great wealth and success would not bode well for his son to follow.
