 ==== Assyria Besieges Jerusalem (Isaiah 36-37) ====
-Assyria has taken all the lands of Juday, save the capital, Jerusalem (Isaiah 36:1).  A great army comes to the city, with a general named Rabshakeh (a type of Satan).  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).

 The diplomats from Jerusalem ask the general to speak in the Syrian tongue so that the people behind them listening from the city walls won't hear them (Isaiah 36:11).  Rabshakeh continues speaking in the language of the Jews, and actually starts yelling, so the audience can hear him (Isaiah 36:12-13).
