Good morning,
Don’t know why this section about King Sennacherib was so interesting to me. I just keep thinking about it:
“The intoxicating gratification of his success blurred his judgment.”
Your descriptive words caused me to think of their meaning. He was just drunk with joy, excitement and happiness in achieving his goal of success (in destroying Israel and Judah) that he forgot Jehovah, became proud, blasphemed God and took all the credit for himself.
He didn’t stay sober-minded. In other words, he got “stuck on himself” with his accomplishments. Human nature just loves pride and to boast in itself.
There is so much in this book to stop and think about and absorb. Of course, I have many, many favorite sections (not quite finished it yet).
