2 Kings 19:1-13

11And when King Hezekiah heard it, he 2tore his clothes, 3covered himself with sackcloth and entered the house of the Lord. 2Then he sent Eliakim who was over the household with Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests, 4covered with sackcloth, to 5Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz. 3They said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah, ‘This day is a day of distress, rebuke, and rejection; for children have come to birth and there is no strength to deliver. 46Perhaps the Lord your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent 7to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which the Lord your God has heard. Therefore, offer a prayer for 8the remnant that is left.’” 5So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 6Isaiah said to them, “Thus you shall say to your master, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the 9servants of the king of Assyria 10have blasphemed Me. 7Behold, I will put a spirit in him so that 11he will hear a rumor and return to his own land. And 12I will make him fall by the sword in his own land.”’”

8Then Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria fighting against 13Libnah, for he had heard that 14the king had left 15Lachish. 9When he heard them say concerning Tirhakah king of 16Cush, “Behold, he has come out to fight against you,” he sent messengers again to Hezekiah saying, 10“Thus you shall say to Hezekiah king of 17Judah, ‘Do not 18let your God in whom you trust deceive you saying, “19Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.” 11Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, destroying them completely. So will you be 20spared? 1221Did the gods of 22those nations which my fathers destroyed deliver them, even 23Gozan and 24Haran and Rezeph and 25the sons of Eden who were in Telassar? 1326Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, and of Hena and Ivvah?’”
