Recreate a scene informed by the passage from 2 Kings 19:15-19. Visualize a scene where Hezekiah, a generic historical figure, is seen praying devotional prayers. Feature the Lord enthroned above the cherubim indicating divine authority over all the kingdoms of the earth. Depict the concept of the heaven and earth being the creations of the Lord. Integrate a representation of the words of mockery by Sennacherib and the devastation caused by the kings of Assyria, imagined here as generic historical figures laying waste to generic nations and their lands. Also, illustrate the idols of wood and stone cast into the fire indicating their inability to withstand the Lord. The prevalent theme should stress upon a plea to the Lord to save his people. Develop this scene in the meticulous and detailed style characteristic of Miniature Painting, often associated with meticulous details and vibrant colors inspired by pre-1912 art styles. Ensure no text or words are included in the image and the overall content is respectful and devotional to Christianity.

2 Kings 19:15-19 English Standard Version 15 And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said: “O Lord, the God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth. 16 Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear; open your eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to mock the living God. 17 Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands 18 and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone. Therefore they were destroyed. 19 So now, O Lord our God, save us, please, from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, O Lord, are God alone.”
And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
