2 Chronicles 32:9-23

9LaterH310H2088, as SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 and allH3605 his forcesH4475H5973 besiegedH5921 LachishH3923, he sentH7971 his servantsH5650 to JerusalemH3389 with a messageH559 for KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 of JudahH3063H5921 andH5921 allH3605 the people of JudahH3063 whoH834 were in JerusalemH3389: 10“This is whatH3541 SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 saysH559: WhatH4100 is the basisH5921 of yourH859 confidenceH982, that you remainH3427 in JerusalemH3389 under siegeH4692? 11Is notH3808 HezekiahH2396 misleadingH5496 youH853 to give you overH5414 to deathH4191 by famineH7458 and thirstH6772 when he saysH559, ‘The LORDH3068 our GodH430 will deliver usH5337 from the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804?’ 12Did notH3808 HezekiahH2396 himselfH1931 removeH5493 His high placesH1116 and His altarsH4196 and sayH559 to JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389H559, ‘You must worshipH7812 beforeH6440 oneH259 altarH4196, and on itH5921 you shall burn sacrificesH6999’?

13Do you notH3808 knowH3045 whatH4100 IH589 and my fathersH1 have doneH6213 to allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of the landsH776? Have the godsH430 of these nationsH776H1471 ever been ableH3201 to deliverH5337 their landH776 from my handH3027? 14WhoH4310 among allH3605 the godsH430 of theseH428 nationsH1471 thatH834 my fathersH1 devoted to destructionH27631 has been ableH3201 to deliverH5337 his peopleH5971 from my handH3027? How thenH3588 canH3201 your GodH430 deliverH5337 youH853 from my handH3027?

15So nowH6258, do notH408 let HezekiahH2396 deceive youH5377, and do notH408 let him misleadH5496 youH853 like thisH2063. Do notH408 believeH539 him, forH3588 noH3808H3605 godH433 of anyH3605 nationH1471 or kingdomH4467 has been ableH3201 to deliverH5337 his peopleH5971 from my handH3027 or from the handH3027 of my fathersH1. How much lessH637H3588 will your GodH430H3808 deliverH5337 youH853 from my handH3027!”

16And the servants of SennacheribH5650 spokeH1696 furtherH5750 againstH5921 the LORDH3068 GodH430 and againstH5921 His servantH5650 HezekiahH2396. 17He also wroteH3789 lettersH5612 mockingH2778 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and sayingH559 against HimH5921H559: “Just as the godsH430 of the nationsH1471H776 did notH3808 deliverH5337 their peopleH5971 from my handH3027, soH3651 the GodH430 of HezekiahH2396 will notH3808 deliverH5337 His peopleH5971 from my handH3027.”

18Then the Assyrians called outH7121 loudlyH6963H1419 in HebrewH30662 toH5921 the peopleH5971 of JerusalemH3389 whoH834 were onH5921 the wallH2346, to frightenH3372 and terrify themH926 in orderH4616 to captureH3920 the cityH5892. 19They spokeH1696 againstH413 the GodH430 of JerusalemH3389 as they had spoken againstH5921 the godsH430 of the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776—the workH4639 of humanH120 handsH3027.

20In responseH5921H2063, KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 and the prophetH5030 IsaiahH3470 sonH1121 of AmozH531 cried outH2199 to heavenH8064 in prayerH6419, 21and the LORDH3068 sentH7971 an angelH4397 who annihilatedH3582 everyH3605 mighty manH1368 of valorH2428 and every leaderH5057 and commanderH8269 in the campH4264 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. So he withdrewH7725 to his own landH776 in disgraceH1322H6440. And when he enteredH935 the templeH1004 of his godH430, some of his ownH4578 sons struck him downH5307 with the swordH2719.

22So the LORDH3068 savedH3467 HezekiahH2396 and the peopleH3427 of JerusalemH3389 from the handsH3027 of KingH4428 SennacheribH5576 of AssyriaH804 and all othersH3605, and He gave them restH5095 on every sideH5439. 23ManyH7227 broughtH935 offeringsH4503 to JerusalemH3389 for the LORDH3068 and valuable giftsH4030 for HezekiahH2396 king ofH4428 JudahH3063, and fromH310 then onH3651 he was exaltedH5375 in the eyesH5869 of allH3605 nationsH1471.
