It is a crisis in his divine duty to care for the natural creation.”

		Text and Context

		From “Journal for the Study of the Old Testament”
		Hezekiah’s Boil         JSOT 26/1 (2001): 31-42.
		Isaiah 36–38: The Assyrians invade Judah. The “angel of the LORD” kills 185,000 in the Assyrian camp. King Hezekiah himself apparently has bubonic plague, which is probably what decimated the invading army (plague was considered an instrument of the LORD’s wrath). Isaiah tells the king that he will die, but quickly changes his mind. Barker illuminates the account and posits a link to the Fourth Servant Song (Isaiah 52:13 – 53:12).
		Note: This link is for paid access to the article from JSOT. The document is also available free from Margaret Barker’s website under the title ‘The Original Setting of the Fourth Servant Song’.
