He spread Sennacherib's letter before Jehovah there ([Isaiah 37:14](../../../kjv/isaiah/37/14) ). In his mortal sickness his prayer and its answer related to it ([2 Kings 20:5](../../../kjv/2-kings/20/5) ). The "sign" he asked related to it ([2 Kings 20:8](../../../kjv/2-kings/20/8) . [Isaiah 38:22](../../../kjv/isaiah/38/22) ). His songs were to be sung there ([Isaiah 38:20](../../../kjv/isaiah/38/20) ). See App-67 .

**Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.** Figure of speech *Paronomasia* ( App-6 ), *sha'alu shelom yerushalam yishlayu.* See App-67 .
