2 Chronicles 32:9-19

9After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem (but he himself was before Lachish, and all his power with him), unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,

10Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria: On what do ye rely that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?

11Does not Hezekiah persuade you, to give yourselves over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Jehovah our 1God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

12Has not the same Hezekiah removed his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?

13Do ye not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the countries? Were the 2gods of the nations of the countries in any wise able to deliver their country out of my hand?

14Who is there among all the 3gods of those nations that my fathers have utterly destroyed, that was able to deliver his people out of my hand, that your 4God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?

15And now, let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this manner, neither yet believe him; for no 5god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, nor out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your 6God deliver you out of my hand?

16And his servants spoke yet more against Jehovah, the [true] 7God, and against his servant Hezekiah.

17And he wrote a letter to rail at Jehovah the 8God of Israel, and to speak against him saying, As the 9gods of the nations of the countries have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall not the 10God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of my hand.

18And they cried with a loud voice in the Jewish [language] to the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to frighten them and to trouble them; that they might take the city.

19And they spoke of the 11God of Jerusalem as of the 12gods of the peoples of the earth, the work of man's hand.
