And I wanna be clear that this is not a halftime pep talk. This isn't like the coach speaking to his team at halftime, hey guys, we're gonna get fired up for the second half and we're gonna go out and play better than we did in the first half. Now this is a lot deeper than that. The Hebrew literally means that Hezekiah spoke to their hearts, meaning he addressed their fears. He addressed the reality of the situation, and he's getting into their inner being. Right? The spot that ultimately where the fear is coming from, and he's reminding them of their identity. And so in this moment, at the beginning of the battle that's about to take place, he's speaking to the battle that is raging inside of their hearts.
