2 Kings 18:13-15

13In the fourteenth year of Hezekiah’s reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked and captured all the fortified cities of Judah. 14So Hezekiah king of Judah sent word to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have done wrong; withdraw from me, and I will pay whatever you demand from me.”

And the king of Assyria exacted from Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver1 and thirty talents of gold.2 15Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the royal palace.
