Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

In 2 Kings 19:14-19 and Isaiah 37:14-20, when King Hezekiah received the threatening letter from the Assyrian king Sennacherib, he went to the temple of the Lord, spread the letter out before God and prayed earnestly for deliverance. He sought God's intervention, acknowledging His power and asking for help against the Assyrians.

Hezekiah's reaction was one of faith and reliance on God, not of immediate military action or seeking the help of other kings.
