Isaiah 37:1 meaning and explanation
On hearing this report, King Hezekiah tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and entered the house of the LORD.
Isaiah 37:1, Berean Standard Bible

Tearing his clothes and putting on sackcloth are public signs of grief, alarm and repentance, and the king goes straight into the house of the LORD rather than answering the threat with a military plan.
