Bible Stories For Sleep | The Night Jerusalem Was Saved | Sacred Slumber

Behind quiet stone walls, an entire city waited through one of the longest nights in its history. Outside stood an army that had never known defeat. Tonight we travel back roughly two thousand seven hundred years, to a walled city on a ridge of pale stone, and to a king who had built everything a man could build — and then let go of all of it. This is the story of King Hezekiah: the tunnel his workers cut through solid rock in the dark, the Assyrian officer who shouted in Hebrew so the mothers on the wall could hear him, the letter that listed every nation the empire had erased, and the morning that history has never quite been able to explain. Told slowly, gently, and with just enough quiet that you can drift away somewhere in the middle of it.
