Isaiah 36:1

[The first part of the book is written in poetic style, shifting to prose in chapters 36-39, and then becoming poetic again in chapters 40-66. This writing style thus forms a stylistic chiasm. It also serves as a marker indicating that this passage is central to the entire book. Chapters 36-39 consist of seven episodes arranged in a chiastic pattern:
A A hostile Assyrian envoy (Isa. 36:1–22)
B Hezekiah's distress and appeal to the Lord (Isa. 37:1–7) C Sennacherib's mocking message to Hezekiah (Isa. 37:8–13)
D Hezekiah's prayer to the Lord (Isa. 37:14–20)
C´ The Lord's response to Sennacherib's taunts (Isa. 37:21–38) B´ Hezekiah's illness and appeal to the Lord (Isa. 38:1–22)
A´ A "friendly" Babylonian envoy (irony) (Isa. 39:1–8)
The thematic symmetry of the chiasm takes precedence over the chronological order; the events in chapters 38-39 occur before the events in 36-37:
725-722 BC Assyria besieges Samaria, the Israelites go into exile
715 BC Hezekiah becomes king of Judah
705 BC Sennacherib becomes king of Assyria
701 BC Sennacherib invades Judah
681 BC Sennacherib is murdered by two of his sons (Isa. 37:36)]
Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah of [Judah, the southern kingdom] [701 BC], that Sennacherib (Hebr. Sancheriv), king of Assyria, came up against the fortified cities of Judah and captured them.
