2 Kings 18:18-26

18And whenH834 they had calledH7121 to the kingH4428, there cameH3318 out to them EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, who was over the householdH1004, and Shebnah the scribeH5608, and JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of AsaphH623 the recorderH2142.

19And Rabshakeh saidH559 unto them, SayH559 ye now to HezekiahH2396, ThusH3541 saith the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest? 20Thou sayest (but they are but vain wordsH1697), There is counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for the warH4421. NowH6258 on whom dost thou trustH982, that thou hast rebelledH4775 against me? 21NowH6258, behold, thou trustest upon the staffH4938 of this bruised reedH7070, even upon EgyptH4714; whereon if a manH376 leanH5564, it will goH935 into his handH3709, and pierce it: soH3651 is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 unto all that trustH982 on him. 22But if ye sayH559 unto me, We trustH982 in Jehovah our GodH430; is not that he, whose highH1116 placesH1116 and whose altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 hath taken awayH5493, and hath saidH559 to JudahH3063 and to JerusalemH3389, Ye shall worship before this altarH4196 in JerusalemH3389? 23NowH6258 thereforeH6258, I pray thee, giveH5414 pledges to my masterH113 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and I will giveH5414 thee two thousandH505 horsesH5483, if thou be ableH3201 on thy part to setH5414 ridersH7392 upon them. 24HowH349 then canst thou turnH7725 awayH7725 the faceH6440 of oneH259 captain of the least of my master’sH113 servantsH5650, and put thy trustH982 on EgyptH4714 for chariotsH7393 and for horsemenH6571? 25Am I nowH6258 comeH5927 up without Jehovah against this placeH4725 to destroyH7843 it? Jehovah saidH559 unto me, GoH5927 up against this landH776, and destroyH7843 it.

26Then saidH559 EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, and Shebnah, and JoahH3098, unto Rabshakeh, SpeakH1696, I pray thee, to thy servantsH5650 in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speakH1696 not with us in the Jews’ language, in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971 that are on the wallH2346.
