He meets with the diplomats outside the city (Isaiah 36:2-3). He challenges their position, their obstinate decision to keep a defense, tells them that Egypt will be no help, scoffs at their numbers, and blasphemes the name of the Lord (Isaiah 36:4-10). | + | Assyria has taken all the lands of Judah, save the capital, Jerusalem (Isaiah 36:1).
