What was King Hezekiah's reaction to the letter of threat from the Assyria and king?
he spread it before God in the temple and prayed
he sent for his fellow kings to come and assist him
he summoned his soldiers to fight the Assyrians
he sent for the prophets for advice
Explanation
In 2 Kings 19:14-19 and Isaiah 37:14-20, when King Hezekiah received the threatening letter from the Assyrian king Sennacherib, he went to the temple of the Lord, spread the letter out before God and prayed earnestly for deliverance. He sought God's intervention, acknowledging His power and asking for help against the Assyrians.
Hezekiah's reaction was one of faith and reliance on God, not of immediate military action or seeking the help of other kings.
