2 Kings 19:2-20
2And he sentH7971 EliakimH471, who was over the householdH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and the eldersH2205 of the priestsH3548, coveredH3680 with sackclothH8242, to the prophetH5030 IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531.
3And they saidH559 to him, ThusH3541 saysH559 HezekiahH2396: This dayH3117 is a dayH3117 of troubleH6869 and of rebukeH8433 and of reviling; for the children are comeH935 to the birthH3205, and there is not strengthH3581 to bringH935 forthH3205.
4It may be Jehovah thy 1GodH430 will hearH8085 all the wordsH1697 of Rab-shakeh, whom the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 his masterH113 has sentH7971 to reproachH2778 the living 2GodH430; and will rebukeH3198 the wordsH1697 which Jehovah thy 3GodH430 has heardH8085. Therefore liftH5375 up a prayerH8605 for the remnantH7611 that is left.
5And the servantsH5650 of kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 cameH935 to IsaiahH3470.
6And IsaiahH3470 saidH559 to them, ThusH3541 shall ye sayH559 to your masterH113: ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Be not afraidH3372 of the wordsH1697 that thou hast heardH8085, wherewith the servantsH5288 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 have blasphemed me.
7Behold, I will putH5414 a spiritH7307 into him, and he shall hearH8085 tidings, and shall returnH7725 to his own landH776; and I will makeH5414 him to fallH5307 by the swordH2719 in his own landH776.
8And Rab-shakeh returnedH7725, and foundH4672 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 warring against LibnahH3841; for he had heardH8085 that he had departedH5265 from LachishH3923.
9And he heardH8085 sayH559 of TirhakahH8640 kingH4428 of Ethiopia, Behold, he has comeH3318 forthH3318 to makeH8085 war with thee. And he sentH7971 messengersH4397 again to HezekiahH2396, sayingH559,
10ThusH3541 shall ye speak to HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sayingH559: Let not thy 4GodH430, upon whom thou reliest, deceiveH5377 thee, sayingH559, JerusalemH3389 shall not be delivered into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
11Behold, thou hast heardH8085 what the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 have done to all countries, destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be deliveredH5337?
12Have the 5godsH430 of the nationsH1471 which my fathersH1 have destroyedH7843 deliveredH5337 them: GozanH1470, and HaranH2771, and RezephH7530, and the children of EdenH5729 that were in Thelassar?
13WhereH335 is the kingH4428 of HamathH2574, and the kingH4428 of ArpadH774, and the kingH4428 of the cityH5892 of SepharvaimH5617, of HenaH2012, and IvvahH5755?
14And HezekiahH2396 receivedH3947 the letterH5612 from the handH3027 of the messengersH4397, and readH7121 it; and HezekiahH2396 wentH5927 up into the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and spreadH6566 it before Jehovah.
15And HezekiahH2396 prayedH6419 before Jehovah and saidH559, Jehovah, 6GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who sittest [between] the cherubimH3742, thou, the Same, thou aloneH905 art the 7GodH430 of all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776: thou hast madeH6213 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776.
16InclineH5186 thine earH241, Jehovah, and hearH8085; openH6491, Jehovah, thine eyesH5869, and seeH7200; and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of SennacheribH5576, who hath sentH7971 him to reproachH2778 the living 8GodH430.
17Of a truth, Jehovah, the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 have laid waste the nationsH1471 and their landsH776,
18and have cast their 9godsH430 into the fireH784; for they were no 10godsH430, but the workH4639 of men's handsH3027, woodH6086 and stoneH68; therefore have they destroyedH6 them.
19And nowH6258, Jehovah our 11GodH430, I beseech thee, saveH3467 us out of his handH3027, that all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 that thou, Jehovah, art 12GodH430, thou onlyH905.
20And IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 sentH7971 to HezekiahH2396, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah the 13GodH430 of IsraelH3478: That which thou hast prayedH6419 to me concerningH413 SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 I have heardH8085.
