“So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.”
Isaiah responds to the message, sending back assurance that God has heard the Rabshakeh's words and will respond. The affirmation that God has heard suggests that God is aware of and responsive to the blasphemy. The oracle establishes that the prophet recognizes the ultimate stakes of the Rabshakeh's speech: it is not merely political threat but theological challenge to God's supremacy.
