2 Kings 18:23-32

23Now, thereforeH6258, make a bargainH6148H4994 withH854 my masterH113H854, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. I will giveH5414 you two thousandH505 horsesH5483—ifH518 you canH3201 putH5414 ridersH7392 on themH5921! 24For howH349 can you repelH7725 a singleH259 officerH6346 among the leastH6996 of my master’sH113 servantsH5650 when you dependH982 onH5921 EgyptH4714 for chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571? 25So nowH6258, was it apart fromH1107 the LORDH3068 that I have come upH5927 againstH5921 thisH2088 placeH4725 to destroy itH7843? The LORD HimselfH3068 saidH559 to meH413, ‘Go upH5927 againstH5921 thisH2063 landH776 and destroy itH7843.’”

26Then EliakimH471 sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, along with ShebnahH7644 and JoahH3098, saidH559 toH413 the RabshakehH7262, “PleaseH4994 speakH1696 toH413 your servantsH5650 in AramaicH762, sinceH3588 weH587 understand itH8085. Do notH408 speakH1696 with usH5973 in HebrewH30661 in the hearingH241 of the peopleH5971 onH5921 the wallH2346.”

27But the RabshakehH7262 repliedH559H413, “Has my masterH113 sent meH7971 to speakH1696 theseH428 wordsH1697 only toH5921 you andH413 your masterH113, and notH3808 toH5921 the menH582 sittingH3427 onH5921 the wallH2346, who are destined with youH5973 to eatH398 their own dungH2716 and drinkH8354 their own urineH7890?”

28Then the RabshakehH7262 stoodH5975 and called outH7121 loudlyH6963H1419 in HebrewH3066: “HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804! 29This is whatH3541 the kingH4428 saysH559: Do notH408 let HezekiahH2396H3588 deceiveH5377 you; he cannotH3808H3201 deliverH5337 youH853 from my handH3027. 30Do notH408 let HezekiahH2396 persuade you to trustH982 inH413 the LORDH3068 when he saysH559, ‘The LORDH3068 will surely deliver usH5337; thisH2063 cityH5892 will notH3808 be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.’

31Do notH408 listenH8085 toH413 HezekiahH2396, forH3588 this is whatH3541 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 saysH559: MakeH6213 peaceH1293 with meH8542 and come outH3318 to meH413. Then every one of youH376 will eatH398 from his own vineH1612 and his own fig treeH8384 and drinkH8354H376 waterH4325 from his own cisternH953, 32untilH5704 I comeH935 and take you awayH3947 toH413 a landH776 like your ownH776—a landH776 of grainH1715 and new wineH8492, a landH776 of breadH3899 and vineyardsH3754, a landH776 of olive treesH2132H3323 and honeyH1706—so that you may liveH2421 and notH3808 dieH4191. But do notH408 listenH8085 toH413 HezekiahH2396, forH3588 he misleads youH5496 when he saysH559, ‘The LORDH3068 will deliver usH5337.’
