2 Kings 19:27

But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.

I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in. All the movements of Sennacherib were well known to Yahweh. His residence in Assyria, his expedition against Judah and Egypt, his return home for a time, his second expedition, his menaces against Judah, and blasphemous defiance of Judah's God-all these were well known and permitted in the course of Divine Providence.
