2 Chronicles 32:9-23
9After this did SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sendH7971 his servantsH5650 to JerusalemH3389 (now he was before LachishH3923, and all his power with him), unto HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and unto all JudahH3063 that were at JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, 10ThusH3541 saith SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, Whereon do ye trustH982, that ye abide the siegeH4692 in JerusalemH3389? 11Doth not HezekiahH2396 persuade you, to giveH5414 you over to dieH4191 by famineH7458 and by thirstH6772, sayingH559, Jehovah our GodH430 will deliverH5337 us out of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804? 12Hath not the same HezekiahH2396 taken awayH5493 his highH1116 placesH1116 and his altarsH4196, and commanded JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Ye shall worship before oneH259 altarH4196, and upon it shall ye burn incenseH6999? 13KnowH3045 ye not what I and my fathersH1 have done unto all the peoplesH5971 of the landsH776? Were the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 of the landsH776 in any wise ableH3201 to deliverH5337 their landH776 out of my handH3027? 14Who was there among all the godsH430 of those nationsH1471 which my fathersH1 utterly destroyed, that could deliverH5337 his peopleH5971 out of my handH3027, that your GodH430 should be ableH3201 to deliverH5337 you out of my handH3027? 15NowH6258 thereforeH6258 let not HezekiahH2396 deceiveH5377 you, nor persuade you after this manner, neither believeH539 ye him; for no godH430 of any nationH1471 or kingdomH4467 was ableH3201 to deliverH5337 his peopleH5971 out of my handH3027, and out of the handH3027 of my fathersH1: how much less shall your GodH430 deliverH5337 you out of my handH3027?
16And his servantsH5650 spake yetH5750 more against Jehovah GodH430, and against his servantH5650 HezekiahH2396. 17He wroteH3789 also lettersH5612, to rail on Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and to speak against him, sayingH559, As the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 of the landsH776, which have not deliveredH5337 their peopleH5971 out of my handH3027, soH3651 shall not the GodH430 of HezekiahH2396 deliverH5337 his peopleH5971 out of my handH3027. 18And they cried with a loud voiceH6963 in the Jews’ language unto the peopleH5971 of JerusalemH3389 that were on the wallH2346, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might takeH3920 the cityH5892. 19And they spake of the GodH430 of JerusalemH3389, as of the godsH430 of the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776, which are the workH4639 of men’sH120 handsH3027.
20And HezekiahH2396 the kingH4428, and IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 the sonH1121 of AmozH531, prayedH6419 because of this, and criedH2199 to heavenH8064. 21And Jehovah sentH7971 an angelH4397, who cut off all the mightyH1368 menH1368 of valor, and the leadersH8269 and captains, in the campH4264 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. So he returnedH7725 with shameH1322 of faceH6440 to his own landH776. And when he was comeH935 into the houseH1004 of his godH430, they that cameH935 forthH7971 from his own bowelsH4578 slew him there with the swordH2719. 22Thus Jehovah savedH3467 HezekiahH2396 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 from the handH3027 of SennacheribH5576 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and from the handH3027 of all others, and guided them on every side. 23And manyH7227 broughtH935 giftsH4503 unto Jehovah to JerusalemH3389, and preciousH4030 things to HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; soH3651 that he was exalted in the sight of all nationsH1471 from thenceforth.
